Not naturally, no.

However it is possible to grow bananas in a cold country, as long as the growing environment is warm.

In Iceland, for example, bananas are grown in a large greenhouse.

The greenhouse is fed heat from pipes passing through it, which have hot spring water from the nearby volcanoes flowing through them, to heat the greenhouses.

How does the weather seasons and climate affect bananas?

Bananas grow best in warm, wet tropical climates.


What weather do bananas need?

Bananas thrive in tropical climates with consistent warmth, high humidity, and regular rainfall. They require temperatures between 77-86°F and well-drained soil to grow properly. Frosts and prolonged periods of cold temperatures can damage or even kill banana plants.


What is the banana growth process?

Bananas grow on large herbaceous plants that are native to tropical regions. The plants require plenty of sunlight, warmth, and water to thrive. The fruit start as flowers and develop into clusters of bananas that grow downward from the plant. Once the bananas reach maturity, they are harvested for consumption.


Is tropical wet a good climate for growing bananas in?

Yes, tropical wet climate is ideal for growing bananas as they require warm temperatures, abundant sunlight, and consistent rainfall to thrive. These conditions provide the necessary environment for bananas to grow quickly and produce healthy fruit.


Why do you not put bananas in the refrigerator?

Actually, you can put bananas in a refrigerator to help keep them from over-ripening. Some say refrigerating a banana changes its taste, but it is better than having it over-ripen or even rotting. The skin of a banana turns brown or black faster in the refrigerator, but the banana meat itself does not ripen that much more. In fact, it is recommended that ripened bananas be frozen to preserve them even longer. The cold temperature of a refrigerator encourages an enzyme (polyphenyl oxidase), which is naturally found in the banana, to polymerise phenols in the banana skin into polyphenols. Polyphenols are similar to melanin, the pigment responsible for the color in our skin. This is what blackens the skin of the bananas. Despite the color, the cold temperature will keep bananas firmer than a banana that has been left at room temperature for the same amount of time. The enzymes that break the starch into sugar, which makes the banana soft and ripe, work better at room temperature.
