Hi there fellow desert dwellers! I am highly interested (as in you can't talk me out of it haha) in planting 2 or 3 banana plants in my back yard. I have successfully planted three citrus trees back there but banana plants I think are a little more intricate. So I have a number of questions for all of you:
1) I have a south facing yard, I was planning to put them along the west wall (eastern/morning sun) next to a mature mesquite tree for protection from the southern exposure....is this a good plan?
2) can you recommend 2 or 3 varieties for me, I'm interested in flavor and cold hardiness, equally
3) where should I go to buy them?
4) any additional info or threads you could direct me to as a total banana noob would be great!

Thanks!
