Not very often you see a banana plant growing in our little Swiss town, but we actually have two of them for the summer floral decoarations. They are not flowering, also have no bananas, but who knows? I heard the rumour that next year they are planning to plant pineapples.

Problem being that in a little more time it will be Swiss Winter with snow and ice and I do not think that the banana tree will survive. It will probably be dug out and stored during the Winter in a warmer place.

True ! Banana tree needs lots of sun light and water to hydrate it .. pity it will not survive the cold !

One of the greenhouses in a neighboring state has a banana plant that they say will be hardy in our USDA Zone (5). they don’t promise it will bear fruit, but that with precautions it will be hardy – which I think means it will die back to roots, and regrow the following year. Being that my area of New England is supposed to shift to USDA zone 7 or 8 this century who knows what will happen.

This tree will probably be kept in a greenhouse during the Winter and brought out again next Summer.

They actually look better than the average bananas here do. They live in the garden all years, but can get a bit roasted by the aridity during summer.

They do not belong here and can only live in our hot summers outside. Othwise they are a greenhouse member

Of course; but someone puts significant effort into growing exemplary specimens. It is normal for the leaves to be somewhat tattered like that, and they typically look worse.
