When I used to commute through New Orleans on I-10 and 610 sometimes they would have a mild winter and lots of beautiful bananas along the roads.
The first time I visited New Orleans I marveled at the bananas growing in the Jackson Square across from the St Louis Cathedral. (This was before my banana addiction so I don't know what kind they were! lol) Some years later, when I visited again - the bananas must have been frozen out - they were replaced with flowering pears! - What a disappointment!! I see more than enough of those here at home in Pittsburgh. Of course I have the only bananas in my neighborhood and I know of only six private plantings in the whole city!!
