I am wondering if anyone could share with me which banana cultivars they find to be the most drought tolerant? Feel free to list your top 5 or top 10. I have looked online and found little information on the topic. I figure that it is probably because bananas seem to all require a good amount of water to grow. So far I have a Raja Puri that has grown quite well in my desert environment. I also have a dwarf cavendish that is still doing well, an ICB (possible fake), and Musa Basjoo. I am considering getting a lady finger, Mysore (or similar). Any thoughts?
