Hello Feldman!
I'm in zone 10, also! Largo in Pinellas County, Tampa Bay Area, close to the beach. Welcome, neighbor!!

I have 3 red bananas (6-10 feet tall max) that I don't expect fruit from and they're potted. I simply love the beauty and looks of the wide, tropical looking leaves with the deep red stripe down the stalk back length and the red striations in the green green leaves. Gorgeous trees, except it just got chilly last night and the trees didn't completely like it. They look worse for the wear, and I cut off several branches.

I wish you great success and enjoyment of your bananas, whatever you decide on getting!

They like lots of water, everyday usually unless it rains. Bananas seem to not need a lot of soil or a large pot. So avoiding clay pots makes sense.
