So last year I grew a bunch of the bananas in my signature from seedlings in Louisville KY. Then come September, my career prompted me to move south to Nashville- all I could think was YES, even more favorable nanner weather.

With that being said, the forecast looks pretty good. I have a fenced in patio and wanted to start bringing them outside again. They are all about 2-7ft tall. Think this is okay? Next week of weather looks okay and figure if there is a late March/early April frost I could bring them back in?

I tested my musa siamensis and a musa basjoo in the fenced area where overnight temps dropped to 28-30 and they seemed undamaged? Figured I was good to bring them out now.

What are your thoughts? Any Nashvillians here on the forum who can give some feedback?
