I'm in Warrenton, VA and also have some plants in Hague, VA about 100 miles southeast. I got started about 10 years ago when someone gave me a couple of banana plants they did not have room to store for the winter. I have since had to give away many for the same reason. In this area I have to dig up everything and bring it in for the winter and many of them are just too big (over 10 feet). They do fine in pots with almost no water for the winter! I have had fruit several years but always too late to finish. I'm excited this year as one of mine started a bloom as soon as i put it out this spring! It only set 3 hands but I hope they will finish...cannot wait to taste one of them.
I have no idea what variety they are or much about how to grow them other than what I learned from trial and error!
