Great to know we can go bananas here in MD. Just in case you didn't know, though they can't bare fruit due to weather, you can use the leaves. Use them to layer your baked fish, steam cakes or yet create a tropical buffet using leaves as table cover. Asian has many use of banana leaves. Try it you might like the flavor.
With that, I want to acquire a plant. Any of you selling some of your bananas? Enjoy your gardening.

That's a great idea to use the leaves in cooking!

My big plants went pretty brown-dormant in the basement this year. If they don't green up when I plant them out, then I'll need to fall back on the pups that I overwintered in the dining room. But if they're OK as I hope, then I'll have an extra pup or two. I've never sold plants, but I'm willing to trade. :-)
