Greetings!
Hello banana lovers!
Just found out about this site & am hoping to learn more about growing 'cold hardy' bananas here on my corn & soybean farm! I am a farmer of corn & soybeans, but am totally fascinated with bananas! I have been growing musa bajoos & blood bananas with amazing success for two years now. I hope to learn more about overwintering these beautiful plants! My wife & I have been traveling to Jamaica, West Indies now for over 30 years & that's how we got hooked on bananas! Also would like to know if there are any other cold hardy bananas that we could try growing here in Illinois. I will be checking in from time to time! |

Re: Greetings!
I am located about 20 miles south of Bloomington,IL
I guess I should have made it clear that I do not grow bananas for a cash crop! My wife & I just love growing bananas in our garden & patio area. I am not the best user of a computer yet, but I will soon post some photos of my bananas as I become more familiar with this site! |

Re: Greetings!
welcome to the org!! you can try musa basjoo. they are "suppossed" to be hardy to -20*. ill laugh at that later... lol. but in the nana wiki it says, and i quote," p-stem damage occurred at 3 *". so if you want to try basjoo youll just have to protect them in the winter time.
  jamacia....sounds wonderful this time of year( or any time of year). again welcome to the best nana forum in cyber space!!!( or anywhere for that fact)

Re: Greetings!
Hi Rasta! I live in Rockford. I grow bananas in containers (live on the 6th floor of a high rise) but bananas can be grown where you are. I don't know if you will be able to have them ripen for edible bananas, but perhaps if you have a greenhouse and get them going early enough, you might. Best of luck!
