Does anyone know if any of the bananas on trade winds fruit like shade but are not to big, so they can be in a house?I checked, and the shorter ones were the Chinese Yellow Banana (Musella lasiocarpa), and the blood banana (Musa zebrina), but do they like shade?
Thanks,

Hi,
Last summer was my 1st with the banana plant!
I grew a sikkimensis in the ground.
It received morning sun till about 1:30ish or so.
It was beautiful! I put it in the same place about a-week ago again!

With more sun I beleive the maroonish-purple color in the leaf would be faded-out!
Like wise the green color in the leaf is deeper!
It would be nice if garden web had a feature to browse your photos before posting! Or a members photo section, and then you could quickly see mine.
And they live in bad lighting in peoples homes.
So in dappled shade it might work too!
Hope this helps! :- ))
