Thank you so much for your help. I didn't see two replies and I'll tell you, yours was definitely not boring! As I've never owned a banana plant before, just admired them from afar, I am after all the information I can get. I'm going to start researching the dwarf cavendish right now. Thank you, once again.

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/limogirl51/detail?.dir=f465scd&.dnm=44e1scd.jpg&.src=ph The above is a link to the picture of my banana plant. If anyone could help me identify it so I know how to better take care of it, I'd appreciate the help. It's grown a new leaf (it hasn't opened yet) since I've brought it home, so I think it likes the spot. I'm just worried that it's brother is already over 6 feet tall and it's father is taller, so I'm told. I'd love to give my plant a good home outside, but with our winters being between 20-60 degrees at night (usually around 40, but it has gone down to 19 before every 4-5 years) and our summers being intense at around 95 - 116 degrees - I live in the high desert - I want to make sure I don't harm my new plant. If you can't open the link above, can you tell me a better way to post the picture on this website? I didn't see an "attach" button, and when I try to drag the picture here, it takes over the whole window and won't allow me to type anything on it. Thank you very much for your help. I do appreciate it.

How can I find out what species I have? A friend gave me mine. She got the banana plants from her brothers house in Tempe, Arizona.

I was given a banana plant from a friend. It is in a huge pot, but it is a baby, with only three leaves and about two feet tall. I would like to be able to plant it outside, either in the ground or leave it in a big pot. I live in the high desert, at about 3000 feet altitude. It gets over 100 degrees in the summer and it snows in the winter, though not much. My question is, can I keep my plant outside (not this winter, maybe next winter) and insulate it with newspaper and maybe a bag or sack? I remember as a child, my grandfather, who lived in New York, had a fig tree and he had to insulate it in the winter so it wouldn't freeze. It was all wrapped up and you couldn't see it - it was planted in the ground and was considered a small fig tree. I don't want to do anything to hurt this plant, as I really love plants and have always wanted a banana plant. My friends other banana plants have produced bananas, but they were grown in Arizona. I live in California. |
