I sure wish I could grow bananas. Well I could if I built a two story heated green house in the back yard with supplemental lighting. I have the space and the money to do it. But for some reason I can't bring myself to dump $10,000 to grow bananas. If I had your climate I would have banana's everywhere. I love bananas. I'll eat three or four at a time.
I do have a Himalayan banana at my mothers in a huge pot that I bring into her garage every winter that's been growing for about ten years. They will even survive outdoors here in the ground but if they do produce fruit it's not an edible type. Thing is full of pups that I need to cut off and replant.
You guys and your tropical climates that can basically grow anything year round cause me extreme jealousy.
