"The ‘Raja Puri’ grows to 10-12 ft. tall and is cold hardy and is wind resistant. The ‘Raja Puri’ has a stout trunk, has very sweet fruit and is an excellent choice for landscaping!
Grows in zones: 7 - 10."
Thanks Shrek. Looks like another possiblility. I was interested in the Orinoco because it supposedly blooms in only 9 months. For me that would give a better chance to get fruit started earlier in the spring.
Have you had success fruiting Rajas?

I can't speak for Michigan folks, but if the corm doesn't freeze it should make it okay. Sounds like you protected them. Banana's are pretty hard to kill. I should know. If it can be killed I usually can do it.
