I have a question. I originally wanted to secure the below 3 varieties:

1.Dw. Namwah
2.Raja Puri
3.Mysore/Pisang Ceylon.

I now have the DN and the RP... but am rethinking the Mysore as I hear it may need to be propped. Call me the lazy gardener ....fact is, I have enough on my plate w/o having to prop/babysit a banana plant.

SOOO, my question is: what Banana would you all recommend that has the following characteristics:

1. good cold tolerance -I'm in zone 8b
2. is small/short/dwarf
3. has a fabulous tasting banana.

Thank for any help in this decision!
