Bananas

This section covers bananas which can be used outdoors in our climate, at least during spring & summer. In the mildest areas of the country such as Devon & Cornwall, or central London, there are a few bananas that you could risk leaving outside all year round. In other areas we recommend providing some winter protection. 

All bananas used outdoors prefer a sunny, sheltered spot, in well drained soil & wrapped in two or three layers of fleece through winter
