Bananas are grown in Southern California commercially. Not at huge scale but del monte still grows and sells them as far as I know.
Comment on Why are all of the Bananas and Oranges in FL from California?
atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoAFAIK the only US state in which bananas can grow is Hawaii and they don’t grow that many so they are mostly eaten locally.

I grow bananas in my yard, and know several other people who do also grow bananas. Not commercially but I would think anyplace that can grow sugarcane can grow bananas.
And there are some banana farms in Florida.
I grow Red Cuban bananas, not Cavendish.
