Growing DB and DN at my previous home in zone 9b I didn't notice much taste difference but the DB yields were consistantly low compared to DN. It's slightly (pleasantly) a little more sub acid - not overboard like Orinoco.

The zone tolerance chart you said thanks for was a reprint from a prior member - perhaps Joe Real. I like your idea from your previous post of trying something on the list and then moving up or down as appropriate.

With my experiences growing fruiting bananas outdoors year-round in zone 9b, it's difficult to imagine success with the same in zone 8b. I'd have them in a translucent temperature controlled structure throughout the cold seasons.
