BANANNA TREES ARE NATIVE TO TROPICAL AREAS. THEY HAVE A WARM ZONE RATING. IF YOU HAVE THEM IN THE GROUND WHAT WE DO IN Florida , YES IT DOES GET COLD HERE TODAY AT 8:OO AM IT WAS 40 DEGREES, WE COVER THEM WITH INSULATED BLANKETS BUT THAT MAY NOT WORK THERE. CALL YOUR LOCAL AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION OFFICE AND ASK THE BEST COURST OF ACTION. LOOK IN THE WHITE PAGES UNDER GOVERNMENT LISTING. THERE IS ONE IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTY ACROSS THE USA.

Idon't know the complete right answer to this question, as I'm trying to find it myself. Last year when it started to get pretty cold around November I cut it down about two feet from the ground and covered the ground with the leaves of the tree to keep the soil moist and this year my banana tree grew like it was on steroid's, but like I said, I don't have the factual answer to this question but I guess if I don't find it that is what I will do again. I hope to find an answer that explains when like before the first frost or something of the sort. Hope this helps!

Is banana a flowering plants?

Hi - Yes, banana plants are flowering plants...but most varieties also produce fruit from those flowers. There are fruiting banana plants and there are some banana plant varieties that only flower. That being said the flowering only banana plants will still produce small banana fruits that are not edible. Both are home in tropical to some of the subtropical regions. They can be grown in temperate areas (where temperatures drop into the low 40's and beyond during winter) with heavy winter protection. Greenwood Nursery http://www.greenwoodnursery.com
