I had room for one when we moved to Iowa one autumn. It's offspring continue
to delight. They are grown in full sun here, and thrive.

Hi John,
Post the banana culture more completely. How do you cut a banana tree into
four foot lengths and what temp is the garage. Do you pack the cuttings (is
four feet a cutting?) in peat? Have you any idea of the species you are
growing?
