Default Re: How Sun and Drought tolerant are Musa Ornatas?

Bananas need a lot of water to keep healthy and growing. I notice that you are in Arizona so they would probably do best in an area that is shaded during the day as it gets extremely hot. In full sun the plant would probably die of sunburn. Water it well because the sand does not hold water that well. You could probably put it in a large pot on your shaded porch and move it inside during the wintertime. Does that help any?
