well hello monkeylady. yes you can grow nanas in texas we have a lot of members from there. i would suggest putting them in the ground if at all possible. they do better. you will need a site that gets lots of sun. they will have to have good drainage and be where they are watered and fertilized. that is awesome wanting to grow them for the rescued monkeys. it would cut some cost at the zoo to do this. if might take you a while to get nanas from the tree but it would be worth it in the end. there should be more people in the world like you! we have the banana wiki at the top of your screen, click on it and it will take you to the next page. in the yellow box is a "list of nanas" click on that and it will tak you to a huge listing of nanas, click on the one you want and you have a description of your nanas. it is very useful info. like i said welcome to the nana org, enjoy your time here. we do!
