I don't know about Texas but banana plants die in the winters here and have to be cut down each winter. Such a huge mess as they get bigger. We had planted 16 of them in our backyard when we told that every month we needed to put a pill in the water at the base of every leaf to kill off the mosquito larva that will grow there. We have West Nile Virus in our town carried by mosquitoes, no Zika yet but we took this advise to heart and took out the banana trees.

Never fails that there's something that can go wrong.

Best wishes for your project, Wendy
