I'm no expert, but am gearing up to grow some for the first time this spring. Not sure what zone you are in, but if you get snowy winters you are going to want to look for 'Cold Hardy' varieties (so they don't die in the cold). Musa Basjoo is the best known of these, also Musa Sikkimensis is cold hardy. Also the Blue Java Ice Cream Banana Plant is supposed to be cold hardy as well.
