Re: Container Grown edible banana for PNW
My dwarf Orinoco fruit 4 out of 5 years. But I live in the south. It’s a lot different than the PNW. I also live on the largest lake in the south which may help my zone 8b some.
I would stick with:
Raja puri
D Orinoco
D Brazilian - me and my bro Hector LOVE them!
Fruiting SDC like Novak, Logees clone, etc.
D namwa.
I would suggest planting them directly in ground inside the greenhouse. Leave them there year round! They will do much much better vs in pots! Musa roots are 90% in the top 12” and can spread upto 30’ in any direction! It’s hard to find a pot like that! Haha.
Good luck! I know of a couple people up in Washington who have amazing success growing them in ground inside a greenhouse! You can even dig down a couple feet and then plant for slightly taller dwarfs like D namwa! Just stay away from Saba!
