Re: Mike

Welcome! Have you grown any edible/dessert types? A huge portion of the UK is zone 8, which is good enough to grow varieties like Rajapuri, Namwah, etc with protection over winter. In fact I've heard of some people getting Rajapuri to fruit in the UK. Not the best quality fruits due to cool summers, but hey, they were bananas.
