good one AJ
AJ, you know my climate (about the same as Jasons)
I grew Orinoco banana for many years and in some years I had bananas to eat.
Of course a long growing season and a warm October was necessary. I also had to dig them up before Thanksgiving and hope for an early spring to get them back in the ground.
My brother has a downtown home with a walled courtyard facing west and he had Musa orinico to return for 3 years once but they died out.
I haven't seen you try banana but if you do, I hope you would try Orinico or El Saba. They dont spread like Basjoo and the fruit is good.
I stopped growing El Saba, one of the tallest species and hard to get to the garage or basement
