Ty Ty definitely has had lots of mis-information on their site. Some have speculated at times that their "Carolina King" and their "Texas Star" were just made up names for Orinocco. The tried and true fruiting cold hardy bananas are Raji Puri and Orinocco...both of which I've overwintered in the ground in 7a, but I gave up on waiting for them to fruit and just let them die so I could focus more on species bananas and some that are more ornamental. In your zone you can probably get some fruit. Try checking the Cold-hardy section for some good advice about what you can grow and how to over winter them.
