Default Re: Cold Hardy Bananas - Anyone growing in NW Washington?

both my dwarf orinoco banana and cavenish died last snow storm. Some webiste said cold hardy 8A some say only to 9a. Well it is 9A and not 8A. I see its been many years since the first post. Wondering what is new with your banana trees since then have you successfully fruited any? I wouldn't recommend any that is taller than your greenhouse ceiling. since you will have to bring them in to protect from frost. I would stick with dwarf varieties. Or keept them planted outside with very good protection. To answer Allwine question there are the 3-6 ft varieties you would probably need near window and grow light to keep in pot inside house.i think logee sells them.
