You may want a banana tree but it may not grow in your area. Some tools are helpful to guide you to what trees are best for you and your area. When you are looking into buying a tree you will see that all trees have growing zones. Do you know what zone you are in? You will need to find out if a banana tree can grow near you. And if it can’t, what trees would? This is a link to arborday foundation’s zone look up. http://shop.arborday.org/content.aspx?page=zone-lookup .
For more detailed information about what trees work in your area you may want to use their “Best Tree Finder: Tree Wizard” https://www.arborday.org/shopping/trees/treewizard/intro.cfm however this second link will ask for much more than your location because location is not the only thing to consider when you are considering what tree will grow in your area. In this blog we are focusing on what is best for Zone 5. Or for those of you like me that live in WI, we will be talking about what grows in the South/East half of the state.
The below map is a very detailed map if you are looking for more specific information then the 10 zones (in the US) that the arbor day foundation link will provide.
