How (Not) To Grow Bananas In Indiana

- This is Tod's Video Games AND MORE and today we have something completely different--a quick video of my attempt to grow Grand Naine (Chiquita) Bananas in the cold climate of Indiana. It's a short briefing on how I go about digging out and replanting the trees each year and my (lack of) success, but what I am hoping to achieve.
Don't worry--I'll be back with more video game goodness soon!

Good luck!
Someday I’m going to be eating bananas like a king!
Dang I didn’t know you were an Indiana boy!
Born and raised!
Now I’m looking into if these trees can grow and survive down here in northern Mississippi?
Edit: nope. I’m zone 7. Apparently this tree needs to be in zones 9-11 sad😢
You can cut these off at the base each fall and they will grow new in the spring. 10-12 feet each year. You may be able to cover them with mulch and a trash bag to keep the roots from freezing during the winter. Too cold here for that to work (I’ve tried) but your mileage may vary.
Hubba Hubba 😵cindy IS QUITE THE LOOKER! are you hitting that?
lol, well we have been married 30 years, so probably?
@@tcurtis49 nice
my Bananas tree died last year. I started it from a seed. I still have a large bird of paradise I also started from a seed. I need to repot that thing . but man the pots are so heavy .
Most of mine that die off in the winter will shoot new sprouts in the spring if I put them outside. It won't be long before I can move all my trees out of my garage and back into the ground :)
@tcurtis49 my tropicals I bring in when it falls below 55 at night.
I have a bad back. And big pots of dirt are heavy as you know. So I try not to move them.
I've lost several things due to cold or lack of good light in the winter.
I know what you mean. It's quite a workout moving them around. I also planted some black bamboo last fall and new shoots are coming out of the ground, so it survived.
@@tcurtis49 doesn't black bamboo get 50 feet tall and spread like crazy??
30 feet and that type doesn't spread as easily. I also have it contained to one small area in my yard so it can't escape...I hope :)
