Any suggestions on the types of banana to grow here? I prefer taller but they need to be fairly wind resistant, as it gets pretty windy in my particular loaction at certain times. I have a decent number of varieties here now but not sure that they will make it through winter. I will not bring them indoors. Temps can get down to about 20f at night during the coldest wnter weeks although not for long and not too often, and can reach 115f on a regular basis in the summer. Oh also I prefer edible fruit types.

Thanks
