Well, I live out in the country, but can tell you of my experiences in growing banana plants in Oklahoma. I grow fifteen varieties of bananas and have yet to get bananas to eat.f you find a banana that gives you edible fruit in OK, I would love to hear about it.

In the north central part of Oklahoma, extending south from the Kansas border to the Red River, is the Sandstone Hills Region. The Sandstone Hills are from 250 to 400 feet high. Some are covered with Blackjack and Post Oak forests. It was in this region that early oil development commenced in Oklahoma. The Arbuckle Mountains comprise an area of about 1,000 square miles in south-central Oklahoma. The low mountains rise about 600 to 700 feet above the plains.
