Paul: They told me at Capital Nursery that banana trees grow really well, but die back every year. They will regrow during the season to about 10'. Now that was the Capital Nursery on Sunrise in Fair Oaks. So that is in the thermal belt. Dunno if you live farther into the valley where it is colder. You might want to check with Capital, as they had lots of bananas last year.

I just checked my email and you are in the thermal belt! Head over to Capital Nursery on Sunrise (across from the Sunrise Mall) and talk to them about the bananas and other tropicals. Then share the info with me!! They also have plumeria there in a greenhouse attached to the area where they sell books, gloves, etc. Canas also are good-there is a Tropicana one that is fantastic. For a pond-taro does well. Cycads do well. Brugmansia should do well in a protected area-the white one is the most hardy.*
