Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
Yes, or get/build a greenhouse, more efficiently a passive-solar type, or container grow them and bring them in during the winter. Just remember that winter dormancy does indeed lengthen out the time to fruit and might even decrease fruit quality, but, you will get fruit. If you get warm enough winters or have a greenhouse, you can always try short fruiting varieties like Veinte Cohol though. They're not cold hardy but may fruit before winter.
