Default Re: Recommendations

I also agree I would use them as ornimental and if you happen to get fruit that would be awesome.
Im in michigan and have come to the point where I just bring them inside and overwinter them in the crawl space of the house dry rooted.
I bring them out just before spring, pot them and get them started and then transplant outside in desired area.
This for me has been the best so far, although I did get musa's to sprout one year by leaving outside and protect for winter but that was only one time. I basically lost more than it was worth dealing with this way for me.

Also one other thing my praying hands banana's have been the best for me in this area and by bringing them inside they have been the most hardy for sure, for me.
