subtropicalization and bananas in the US

I really appreciated these visions of banana culture and climate resilience in a rapidly-changing Louisiana.  Seemed worth sharing both for the specific notes on banana propagation and as a contribution to permaculture planning with climate change taken into account: https://territories.substack.com/p/after-the-flood-the-forest

I'm a bit north of the banana zone, but people do grow the trees for decorative purposes here. They die back every winter and sprout again in the spring. I guess it's only a matter of time before they can survive the winter and live long enough to fruit. Though the area will probably be a shallow salt marsh by then.
