We moved here from Key West in '90 and the temps are much the same except for a few days. Not really true, 70f was freezing to us down there but have gotten used to some a bit cooler. Bananas were one of our pride crops. Fresh ripe fruit all year long and very delicious. Not sure why it took me so long to back into them but the place is full of them now. We have about 50 plants of many sorts and hopefully will start getting fresh fruit on a regular basis. Our plans are to stick with the smaller plants that produce sooner although they have a smaller crop, can't eat that many at one time anyway. Maybe it won't be too bad this year. Good luck.
