Re: Is it possible for a dwarf cavendish to survive 9a zone?

I am in 9a and have had DC for many years but they never do much in the ground. They struggled even on the best years. Don't waste your time, I just dug them up and making room for other stuff.

Re: Can i grow Musa acuminata at zone 9 without freezing?

By the way, Musa acuminata produces a seeded, inedible fruit. In your location you could grow the edible unseeded banana "Namwa". I have some pups available if you don't mind driving to Vista...
