if you can grow dwarf cavendish you can grow gran nain.. my first year i accidentally grew gran nain to about 7feet. i wasnt a member but i was checking out a few things on this site off and on.. i never used Christmas lights like some people were advocating.. i wrapped it and left it outside... the next spring i cut it back following some bad advice.. had i left it alone..i believe i could have had it fruit the second year just fine.

we are in about the same zone.. now with all these hard freezes its probably almost impossible to do this with any banana in zone 8.. the cold freezes the stems. the gran nain will come back for me every year i just have to intervene to get fruit.
