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.
Is it really that difficult to get full fruiting here? What is the determining factor? Winter temps?
