Welcome to the forum. Im not sure about the method you are wanting to use with grow bags, but growing bananas in containers takes large containers. I would try to stick to a dwarf variety as the larger varieties will need very large containers and would be subject to tipping over. Someone on here with better advice will chime in shortly im sure.

What area of the country are you located??? As the growing zone has a lot to do with which varieties will grow best for you.
