I just got permission from Mrs. Adrift to put some nanners in another location of the yard.
The ice cream pups I recently moved probably would fit the bill but I hate to dig them up again and probably there is something even better.
I'd like a banana that fairly quickly gets at least 5 feet of clear pstem, 6 or 8 feet is even better, and has a big thick canopy providing good shade below. (Shade tree nanna.) Does not pup excessively. Corm must be hardy to zone 9a (last 2 years saw 25-27 degrees), ideally the pstem will be hardy to that temperature but leaf damage is OK. Edible fruit and pretty flowers are not required. Native soil is mildly acidic dirty sand, but amendments are available. Shouldn't cost an arm and a leg, and is actually available in the US.
