There are many that should grow in containers in zone 6 if they are protected from the cold--like in a home or greenhouse. You have to understand that in winter growth will be slow and rot will be one of your biggest enemies. Bananas need to be dry --almost like cactus in winter.

There are some that even grow bananas outside in TN--they just dig them up and store them under the house like cordwood for the winter.
