Does anyone know what types of bananas are planted in the Vancouver and coastal areas of B.C.? I saw a lot at English Bay.

There was also a very nice deep red or burgundy type at VanDusen Botanical Gardens. Does anyone know what this one is?

Is the season long enough in these areas to produce fruit?

Do you think any of them would need protection for the winter? I'm wondering if the city would bother covering anything that they plant.
