Default Re: Banana Growers in NC...

I'm in Zone 9 and my Dw. Cavendish typically don't fare well even in our winters here. Having said that, I do have one that I have wrapped the trunk on a couple of times so far this winter when cold weather has threatened and it still has about 5' of good firm pseudostem. I'm hoping that we won't get too cold this winter and that maybe it will flower and fruit this spring. If the cold weather does get it I will likely replace it with something hardier.
