She said I should try growing these baby bananas. I now live in zone 9b so it may not work unless they are 'babied'.
Assuming I could find the variety.
I am going to focus on shorter varieties, dwarf Orinoco, rajapuri, anything else people might recommend that have cold hardy traits. I am getting too old to deal with tall varieties.

Thanks for the compliment. There are plenty of more knowledgeable folks on the west coast, they just don't post here often or at all.
For the shorter varieties, you didn't mention Dwarf Namwah or Dwarf Brazilian. In my experience, those two have the best combination of no babying needed to regularly produce good numbers of good tasting fruit. Little kids seem to love Namwah fruits. I think its because they are super sweet when really ripe. The grandsons of one of my friends just mow through them.
