Re: question about growing bananas in pots
Daen,
I grow most of my bananas in the ground, but the one's I do have in pots do just fine. They will be more prone to drying out in pots (obviously) so choose the largest pot possible, especially if your bananas are fruiting varieties. In the winter, the roots and corm would be more succeptible to cold temps than if they were in the ground. I'm not sure exactly how cool your temps get in Amsterdam, but I suspect it's fairly cold so you'll definitely have to protect them by either moving your plants inside or possibly heaping mulch up around the pots in order to prevent freezing of the corm and or roots. Hope this helps.
