![]() What are some suggestions for edible cultivars? Space is not a factor, but lower humidity and higher temps/more sun than closer to coast may be limiters. Zone 10 inland San Diego (~10 mi from coast), western sloped exposure. Please lend me some suggestions for any of the following, or ones to steer clear of:
Best taste/fruit Best for zone Large and medium size mature trees Best for windy areas Best edible tree specimens Good for pool area landscaping Thx, Pueblo |

![]() I'd go with dwarf namwah. Probably the best suited variety for your area.

![]() Welcome to bananas.org from another San Diego grower.
I grow 9 different varieties near Mission Bay and have a Pisang Ceylon mat going about 20 miles inland at another place. Namwah and all Mysore varieties (Pisang Ceylon, Pisang Klotek) will grow here very well. If you are planning on growing on a windy hillside, you may want to consider Dwarf Brazilian and Dwarf Namwah. With growing big banana bunches come big propping skills 😉. |
