What Banana love shade?
I am in the process of making a tropical looking garden area around our swings and fire pit.
It is under tall pine trees and gets no direct sunlight. But it is open to the north to get plenty on indirect sunlight. I am going to plant different types of flowering ginger plants. I want to have banana plant but want plants that will survive? I am in Southeast Texas on the zone 8 z zone 9 line. Here is a picture of the area for the project.

Re: What Banana love shade?
I have basjoo and bordelon planted in part shade and they’re growing like crazy. They only receive direct morning sun till about noon, then it all gets filtered by the neighbors giant magnolia

Re: What Banana love shade?
Don't quote me on this, and I don't have any personal experience, but I think I remember reading that at least some form(s) of M. yunnanensis is/are understory plants in the wild....or maybe it was M. itinerans, or both.....but I believe they are both reasonably cold tolerant....I know Cincinnana has been growing M. itinerans? (Mekong giant.....?) in zone 5, I believe, in-ground outdoors for several years.....anyway, maybe its an avenue to explore.

Re: What Banana love shade?
I looked up Musa yunnanensis banana.
It is refered to as a wild forest banana. So I guess a forest banana is one that can grow under a tree canopy. "understory" is a new word for my. It has been added to my vocabulary now...

Re: What Banana love shade?
Most Banana's will grow where you are.. I've had namwah, saba, and cali gold come back reliably in S. Ark. You could grow goldfinger easy. Most gingers will comback too..
