WOW! 4-5 years to fruit? Like I said, I don't know anything about bananas. I am going to attempt to grow them in large type of pots so I can move them inside during the winter and then put them outside during the rest of the year(s).
From a little reading, food bananas were modified to not produce seeds and thus are grown from cuttings or a piece of an established root?
Is it possible to get ahold of the edible type? I think it would be cool to have outdoor potted bananas that you can also eat and look at.
Anyway, I am just in the mood to try and grow something different and attractive for a change.
I happen to be the type of person with the mind set that if I take the time to grow something, I want to be able to eat it
My wife is into the flower garden and roses kind of thing. She enjoys that while I enjoy eating the fruits of my labor.
Thanks for the welcome everyone.
Ok yea, for those in areas where we get cold winters, how to you keep yours alive? Moving them inside and hope they don't get to tall?
