In this video, I share my epic gardening secrets for growing bananas in cold climates! I have been growing bananas in ground successfully for 5 years, and I harvest bananas from my banana mat every summer. You would think I could not grow bananas where I live, because we average 30-40 frost and freeze events every winter and see temperatures in the teens every winter, and a banana plant cannot tolerate a freeze. I am able to do this because of how I protect banana plants in the winter. I share my banana growing tips with you so you can grow bananas at home, too!
