I have 2 dwarf banana trees about 2' tall. Both of them put out new

The trees are outside right now. I am in Zone 6a (Kentucky). We
have
had lots of mid-70 days, but some nights in the mid to upper 40s.
I'm thinking this might be the problem. In just the past few days,
the weather seems to have stabalized and actually hit the warmer
Spring temps. Now we're in to upper 70 days and mid-60 nights.

Any thoughts?


Bananas don't grow on trees.


So what do they grow on?
