Description: There are many edible banana varieties that do well in Austin. In-ground plants may die back to the ground after a freeze. All can take some shade, but fruit production is lessened. They appreciate moisture but do not do well in standing water. Bananas are self-pollinating but will produce a heavier crop with more than 1 variety present. Protect large leaves from strong wind. Bananas self-pollinate but additional edible bananas nearby help produce higher yields.
