Default Re: Spacing 3 types of bananas

I would not recommend those varieties for your zone if obtaining fruit is your objective. If tropical foliage is your objective you are probably okay as they will die back and then grow back each year but moving those banana plants back and fouth every day will get old. The three varieties you listed would be tough for me to grow and I'm on the Gulf of Mexico. This is of course if you really got the varieties you listed from the seller which is a big IF in this game.

I recommend the following banana plants: Basjoo (non-edible bananas but very, very cold resistant), dwarf/tall namwa (edible), dwarf orinoco (edible), and raja puri (edible). Better to start with the most cold resistant and then move to less cold resistant.

Good luck!
