Howdy from Southeast Texas (Big Thicket)
I have not successfully grown bananas yet. I ordered a few seeds from eBay and I am about to try it again. I have 5 acres in Southeast Texas. I had a 1.3 acre pond dug about 12 years ago. It was 30’ (9M) deeps, but now it is 27’ (8M) deep. I am putting in a white sand beach along one side. I had 3 dump truck loads of white river sand delivered. I am still prepping the shoreline. I will put down geotextile fabric, then spread the sand over it.
I am planning to plant tropical plants at each end and in various places around the pond. Thus the renewed interest in banana plants. I am going to try to grow all the plants from seed. Here is what I have ordered. Some have already arrived. Musa Sikkimensis Hardy Banana Dinosaur Gunnera Giant Leopard Moso Bamboo Moldovan 456 Tobacco Seeds Here are a few pictures of my pond. I want to make it look tropical with banana and other big leaf plants. I am on the edge of zone 8 & 9. It gets hot in the Summer and we have freezes in the Winter It is very humid also.

Re: Howdy from Southeast Texas (Big Thicket)
Good luck ur not much further N. of me and we didn't freeze last winter.. I have 2 Pineapples that fruited to prove it.. or they'd be dead.. If you have some tree cover near that pond is great place to put a banana you don't want the frost to hammer.. Frost cloth worx too..
