Hello:

I live in a climate where it occasionally goes down to 20', but summer is often over 90 (outside Sacramento, CA).

Can I grow any bananas outside and hope for fruit? There was an article in a doctor's office last week that hinted it was possible, but the article was 5 years old. I do have citrus outside in the ground, and we protect it during a hard frost.

Most Bananas will not be hardy to your area but if you winter them, on there 3rd year they should flower. We get em to flower in Kansas anyway. Basjoo's are easy cause at the end of the year you just chop em, mulch em, and they come back in spring.
