I don't know much about bananas other than they are delicious, however, I do know that there were 27 bunches on the tree where I live and another monkey has pinched them all. :LOL:
 
My father planted a banana tree in our backyard in Venezuela, we were there only five years and got to eat it's bananas. (stock photo, don't have one of our tree)

Just found this, they will grow in Tucson, but are more likely to get frost damage, since Tucson is 1000 feet higher than Phoenix. Plus, they need a LOT of water, and we're in the desert. Sigh, would love to have a plant, they're pretty.

Bananas grow very well in Phoenix, but need lots of water. They like sun and heat but do appreciate some afternoon shade during the hottest months. Depending on where you live in town and how cold a winter it is they will probably get nipped by frost or outright frozen but are known to pop up again in the spring.
