I'd like to just grow a tree in my backyard. But I don't live in the right climate. Or have a backyard.

I live in the Midwest, and had a coworker with a banana plant (I think a Cavendish). He cut it down and dug up the root ball to bring inside every winter. Every few years, the weather was warm enough long enough the thing actually made bananas.

They need a small greenhouse for it. Leave it where it is, put weed block down 8'x8' Get 3 45deg top fittings for fence rail pipe 10' long 2 8' 2x4 boards

Make tall triangle greenhouse using the pipes for the 6 legs 4 feet apart.

Use the 2x4s on the inside to hold the pipe spacing and structure

Cover in greenhouse plastic.

Go bananas

Ha, poor kitty.

Fun fact, a banana is technically an herb and not a tree.

And bananas are berries!

Could always get a UV light and a humidifier and grow one in your bathroom.
