Re: Can i grow Musa acuminata at zone 9 without freezing?
Hopefully our west coast expert Richard will post and help! Normally in zones 9a you can grow short cycle varieties and hope they produce before fall. You can also focus on the cold hardy varieties that do best in your area. Like dwarf Orinoco, namwa, the real blue java ice cream, Mysore, etc.
I am in 8b. Here in TX some winters it will hardly frost. And others like this past winter it will get 14f! It was in the teens all the way to the gulf! That’s 9a and 9b here! You can grow them fairly easy in 9a. I’m in 8b and have good luck with short cycles and cold hardy ones.
Good luck! There are lots of members around your area who can help a lot better than me! Just search around and you will find a lot of their pots with lots of helpful info!
