Yes !
hope all you want !!!!
Now here is a realistic plan....
you're gonna need a d namwah, something to make A frame with, some plastic film and a truckload of poop
dump the poop, erect the frame over it, must be 10ft tall and 6ft wide, go inside for the winter and keep your d namwah in there with you
soon as night temps hit 40's in xpring (april?) then plant your (hopefully already 4ft+ ) banana
open part of the tent when day temps pass 80,
I'm gonna work with a guy in northern lower MI next spring on one of these and see if he can make respectable fruit on a 2yo dwarf cavendish.
oh yeah, while you are hoping, be sure to make good use of your off hand ;-p
gonna need something to fill in where the saba used to be
