I live in zone 7. A gardener I know has some banana trees, but she can't harvest the fruit because we don't have a long enough season. These weird bananas are said to be good for zone 8 and south (unless you put it in a greenhouse) -

My greenhouse will have to be huge for all the stuff I want to put in it.

I've tried planting bananas outside, even the ones that say cold hearty. The 10 degree freeze a few years back almost killed it and it has never produced fruit. You will never get a harvest with the short season. You need them in a greenhouse or inside. Plan on eventually using a really big pot and a dolly to move it.
I've ordered 2 of these and they were about a foot tall. So cute little bananas! They can get to 6 feet.
