Re: best banana for sacramento, ca

Sacramento is a big area.. What part do you live in? Are you downtown or in midtown? then you're Zone 10a. Congrats, you can go any banana you want.

EDIT: (You said South Sac) Are you in Land Park?...

Re: Freeze Pruf

My experience Freeze Pruf is garbage. Total snake oil. Best thing to do is A. Move to a warmer climate, or B. Use an actual heater like propane etc on your frost nights. (assuming you live in a...

Re: AeAe fruiting and 33 degrees coming

Where is al gore?? I'm tired of this cold. Hope they come through... You could always do some propane heating... But with the wind it may not help. Maybe a pipe heater if you can find it :)

Re: Unprotected bananas in zone 8b

It is possible with this year's strong La Nina that you have Zone 9 temps all winter. If so, will have to test again next year:)

I have some bananas that are 20' overall.. just impossible to protect. I'm thinking about building a small fire underneath them (there are some with fruit I want to keep above freezing..)

Any luck...
