I'm very new to this site and I haven't even a
clue as to what type of bananas I've been growing for the last few years.
But I've done a decent job of growing them.
(They have a very 'generic' banana leaf)
I'll get pics sometime...
But my focus up to now has been to use them ornamentally in the landscape throughout the summer while growing them in the ground
still in 10 gallon pots with extra drain holes I cut.
I then transition them inside as the Ohio fall temps cool, spraying the leaf tops with a hort oil I use as an anti-desiccant, to combat the dryness of our home's interior.
With horticulture oil I essentially make them
house plants in a normal home environment.
(But as long as the leaf tops are coated and they're in the house I have to be careful
not to hammer them with too much light!)
My question to you is what type(s) of bananas, if any, would have any chance of cold hardiness in the area I'm in ?
I live in southern Ohio, about 35 miles north of Cincinnati, and here we're strongly
zone 6.
(
Please tell me there's one that
might make it!)
