Default Banana beginner. Sorry if this is a repeat question.

Hi all,

I'm looking to grow a dwarf fruiting variety indoors/outdoors. I can either overwinter the plant in my fall/winter grow room that reaches mid 30's on the coldest days (a few day tops in winter) or I can overwinter the tree in my heated bedroom under grow lights with my other tropical plants. I'd prefer to keep it in the cold room but will do what I have to do if it means I get fruit.

Can anyone recommend any varieties that I can overwinter indoors that will still bear edible fruit?

Thank you.

As a beginner i would choose dwarf variety, Brazilian or Orinoco. They can take that temperature and aren't so picky in taking in and out. Maybe the best of all would be Musa Velutina, but it's ornamental banana

What is your location that you will be growing your dwarf variety plant ?

Sorry for the late reply. The past few days have been hectic. Thank you for the recommendations! I'll start researching as soon as possible.

Hi, haven’t been here in awhile. Phoenixbinder, if you haven’t come up with a variety yet perhaps you can try the dwarf kokopo or veinte cohol. I have 3 veinte cohol in a 30 gal fabric pot. They are “supposed” to be fast fruiting just as the dwarf kokopo. However, I don’t bring mine inside since I am in coastal San Diego.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into them.
