Default Re: Most Common Banana In North America...

Based on my observations of the four places I have Orinoco and Dwarf Cavs growing that managed to get through this January with temperatures getting down to 18F, the DCs have come back insanely and one wouldn't know we had the horrible month we did.

The Orinocos are doing pretty good in some places. Some are already setting fruit. Ornatas are blooming too now.

From what I've learned, Basjoo would not grow where I am, which is very very very humid, hot and, well, humid. We get a heap of moisture off Lake Pontchartrain every day. It's - I dare say it - hotter here than in New Orleans.
