Welcome!

Plenty of information can be accessed by looking through the old posts, using the search function and reading the local wiki on bananas. Information, questions, techniques, and problems have been accumulating since 2007.

Ed gave you some solid if a bit blunt advice based on real experience but it may be possible to successfully grow the GM in your grow zone with resources and effort. I'm growing two cold hardy varieties on the Gulf Coast of Florida and its tough during the winter. Check out the photos in my gallery to see the efforts I have expended to grow my plants in Northwest, Florida as an example.

On a potentially positive note you may not even have a GM. Seems like more than half the bananas people on this site purchased turned out to be something else...the only catch is they found out two years down the road which is a bit frustrating. Haha.

Good Luck!
