I'm in Biloxi and try to grow cold hardy edible nanas. Namwah is my favorite for eating raw or in my raisin bran. I had several bunches last year and so far one bunch hanging this year.
I just planted VC pup which is said to taste good and has a shorter growing season. Orinoco was my 1st nana and fruit is ok but starchy. Both Orinoco and CaliGold(D orinoco) do well at my house.
I'm expecting a Manzano pup  - it is also said to be cold hardy and taste good.
Happy Growing.
