If you aren't in USDA Zones 9 or 10, you can grow these bananas outdoor in the summer and indoors in the winter.
Bananas thrive in warm year around temperatures, a minimum of 70 or 75 degrees. They need alot of light.
Make sure to repot them with a good potting soil mix. They will also thrive grown potted all year in a greenhouse.

Growing only 6' to 8' tall, this beautiful red skinned banana can bring the tropics to your home while the snow falls outdoors. It needs high light levels and temperatures 65°F or higher to do well, but will reward the thoughtful grower with delicious fruit that is almost black when ripe.
