Hey and Welcome!!!!
I like growing Goldfinger.. It is a very hardy plant has high wind resistance and some cold tolerance, grows to about 12 ft. Mine hasn't produced bananas yet but I should have some this coming summer... Kylie |

Re: Newbie Questions
A few of us are trying out the Dwarf Lady Finger, why not give it a shot. It's claimed to easily fruit while growing in a pot.
Musa Dwarf Lady finger now in stock and on sale!

Re: Newbie Questions
Your easiest option is a standard 'Dwarf Cavendish', they are one of the most common banana plants you can buy and stay small and will fruit in a container very easily.
