This excellent banana tree grows 6-8 feet tall with tasty, medium size fruit and produces a sweet flavor. The original trees were obtained from Wichita Falls, TX in 1978 by TyTy and have proven to survive cold better than any other banana trees on our test plots. Trees have survived 0 degrees in Jan of 1984 and some of the original trees left growing at Wichita Falls. They produced fruit in the winter of 1989-1990 when temperatures there fell to minus 16 degrees F. In the fall these trees develop brilliant yellow streaks and splotches that add lively color to your landscape.
