Even though orinoco will overwinter in my 7a/b with only mulch, I know of no one in my area that have them that are able to get bananas to produce. Only one I know of that has successfully had an orinoco to fruit is BigDog, and he overwintered his pstem under his house and had a nice pstem to start with in the spring. I wish there was a variety of banana that would overwinter outside here in zone 7, much less in colder areas, and still produce fruit!!! Still no luck from anyone I know of!!!!
