Patrick ----------- I once lived in Charlotte, NC with weather similar to yours. The only way I got my naners to give fruit planted in the ground, before the late Oct frosts, was to dig out the biggest pups.

Stick them in big pots and grow them out in the house where it's heated. Kept them in a room with the orchids with a humidifier and a small fan circulating the air. Water sparingly with a bit of Peters 10 10 10.
