Thanks for the info on the conservancy
I have volunteered on honeysuckle pulls locally at ours. ARG.
I cannot grow my plants for fruit but I do get flowers and small inedible bananas at times.
The foliage of this plant is just awesome, thats why I have them.
All my plants are landscape plants and are in irrigated containers tucked in throughout the garden.
Some plants are big and some are small.
You can grow any banana plant you wish in our zone, having the means to overwinter and keeping them healthy is the true challenge we have, if you get a flower or immature fruit at the end of the season it is a bonus.
Getting consistent/anticipated results is even better.
Do check out the other plants mentioned in the previous posts they might work for you and the sellers are reputable.
A list of what I grow is in my profile if you want to check it out.
