Bananas grow here in the UK or at least here in the south of the UK. I have been very amazed to see people growing banana trees in there back yard with bananas in fact just at the end of my road there is a banana tree in somebodies garden that has bananas on it. We have had a lot of mild winters here recently and also some very hot summers, it probably has something to do with global warming... like 10 years ago it was thought that was impossible for banana plants to bare fruit here in the UK but now they have become a very popular plant amongst UK gardeners. I expect that there covered up during the winter time but even so its nice to see and very interesting as well. From my research with people growing mangoes here, people have successfully grown mango plants in pots from store bought fruit as indoor plants and last for many years. I think the UK has almost the right conditions as long as the plants are looked after.
