Default bannanas in San Diego?

South Eastern Connecticut --- indoors under lights. We gave out bannana
bread to all our disbelieving friends last year.

Greetings,

I've lived in San Diego, CA since 1969 and am now seeing (for the first
time) bananas growing on the local banana palm trees. Right in my

backyard.
The latitude here in app 32.75 N, and I did not think that bananas could
produce fruit at this latitude.

Right now they're about 1/2 the size of store produce and still green.

Anyone else ever grow edible bananas this far North?

tia,

Bob Doyle
