I have banana trees here in Midwest this year, I helped a guy dig his up last fall and he give me a few and I over wintered them in the basement until it was warm enough to replant them, our growing season is not long enough for them to bare fruit that is ripe. They are one tough plant and grow very fast. Last year a couple of the trees grew 12'. since planting them this spring mine have grown 6' easily. Big pain though to dig them up every year and put them in the basement.
