This video shares 4 tips to grow the most beautiful banana plants you've ever seen! With these banana tips, it's possible to grow bananas down to Zone 5, as cold as 20°F [29°C]! If you've ever wanted to know how to grow bananas in your backyard, look no further!

Many gardeners believe growing banana plants can only be done in the tropics, but most bananas easily recover from subfreezing temperatures and grow back the next spring. Some cold hardy bananas can survive all the way to Zone 5! I've been growing bananas successfully for fruit for many years in Zone 8a North Carolina.

Bananas are heavy feeders and enjoy rich soil chock full of organic matter. Heavy mulching and chop and drop grows beautiful banana plants! In addition, the following products* will help you grow bananas:
