I'm no banana grower, alas I don't even have a garden, but I cycled past this the other day and was pretty impressed by the size of it, biggest outdoor one I've seen in London. Is this majestic nana destined to die in the coming weeks as it looks a bit large to bring indoors?
They might wrap the stems in something ( like bubble wrap and straw) to give them a winter coat, or they might just get away with not doing it if they have protection from most of the elements .
Any idea which way it's facing?

Portknockie harbour, blowing a hoolie. Just before I left for the 9hr journey back south.
booze and cake
probably out cycling
Cheers for the info Dave. Its sort of SW facing so may get a bit of shelter from the northern wind. I shall make sure I cycle past in once the real cold weather starts to see if the owners wrap it up or leave it to fend for itself.

Ho hum. Back in Devon, and back to work tomorrow. At least the sun's out, but I won't quite get the same pleasure as being able to see the roof of my other house as in this panorama. Bloomin' 'eck, it still seems like a dream.
Incidentally, if you expand the photo, you can see the col de Rousset road just to the left of the cloud to the left of the shrub sticking into the sky. Just in case it's one you know. If you don't know it, it's worth the effort, up and down.

If you look really closely in the distance, maybe you can see me waving...The view north to Mont Ventoux and the start of the southern Alps from Notre-Dame de Beauregard, Orgon..
