New to Bananas.org
Hey I am Joe and I am new to this site. My wife and I will soon be living in Florida. We are buying a house in New Smyrna Beach, Florida which is about 45 mins south of Daytona Beach and is on the central east coast of the state.
Can anyone recommend a good variety of Banana that tastes good and would thrive in the 9b zone? Thanks and I looking forward to meeting you and learning about bananas, Thank you, Joe |

Re: New to Bananas.org
Brazilian, Namwah, SH-3640. I don't care much for Namwah, but they take cold about as good as any and are a favorite of most people.

Re: New to Bananas.org
Welcome neighbor--well kinda.
I'm hoping to get many of my "mysteries" in the ground soon but even in pots they're doing well. I know Dwarf Cavendish is supposed to be very cold intolerant but I was growing a nice one in Jacksonville for a year or so. (We got snow that winter but a tarp tossed over her worked; it helped that she was in a protected area. No, I don't know if she ever produced there but she was growing strong when I left her and my little tree frog behind.  . In other words--plant strategically and be prepared to protect sometimes and you might become a zone pusher, too. Hehe, I'm about to go dig ramp roots in WV and play with them here in Titusville; they are not "hot" lovers at all but even if I have to find space in a fridge to store roots during our hellish summers I will because I do love ramps.  )

Re: New to Bananas.org
Welcome to the Jungle....
 Have fun here.... Locally, at big box stores you will find plants to grow, that are highly acceptable They are the least expensive at 10-20.00 bucks. All are quality plants. For possibly different varieties go to the better nurserys in your area. |

Re: New to Bananas.org
Brazilian is tasty, disease resistant and very cold hardy, but take up to 6 months to ripen and have small bunches of small fruit. It's a trade off...sh-3640 is also quite cold hardy and disease resistant and makes bigger bunches that ripen quickly. Some say they are great tasting, some disagree strongly. I hope to have a say on it this summer.
