I am manager of an exotic animal park, and work part time at a nursery. We got "Gran Nain" banana trees in and I was thinking that if I could figure out what to do with them, it would be great to grow our own nanas for the rescue monkeys. I am completely clueless about these trees. I live in the Dallas area of Texas (out in the country though), and am wondering if it is even worth it to purchase a few of them.

Any advice that anyone may have would be greatly appreciated. They are gorgeous little trees, and would add a lot to our landscape, but I would love to find out if they might actually grow fruit, and if so when. They are small right now. They are in 2-gal. container pots. We could plant them in the ground, or in large pots. Whatever is best, we will do. We are willing to put a few years into them, but would just like more info about them. Just let me know.

Thanks so much everyone for any advice you may have to offer!!!
