Re: Goldfinger plant or pass?
Dwarf Orinoco is reportedly hardy in zone 8, with an average subtropical height of 6.5 ft. Joe Real rates it #7 (7th most hardy) on his cold tolerance scale.
The 1000 Fingers has been reported hardy in zone 8, and Joe Real rates it #2 for cold hardiness. The average p-stem subtropical height is reportedly 8 ft, I would guess on the short side in zone 8a.
Other fruiting bananas of short stature that are reportedly hardy in zone 8:
Texas Star (zone 7a !)
Amistad (zone 7b)
Carolina King (zone 7b)
Golden Rhinohorn (zone 7b)
