Growing up, every house we ever lived Momma dug up the Turkey Fig bush/tree and moved it to the new place. We ate fig preserves for years.

Not a banana but we have an olive tree that is going bonkers. Wife’s planning on doing something with the fruit when they mature. It started out as a small two foot sapling and now it’s 12 feet tall.

Easy to grow, pain to get rid of This I grew them for a decade. A dummy could. Hence why I did it. Red dwarf Ice cream Cavendish Black something. I had one variety that would get up 18-20’ and really fruit good! But the f’n squirrels would eat them Not sure where u live IE what zone Many aren’t cold hardy. AS stumpy stated. Hard to get rid of. The stumps can get big and deep. Fast. Fun plants though.

The “hearts” of banana stalks are used in many Filipino dishes. The leaves are great for wrapping certain bbq dishes also. Banana trees have many uses but they can become overwhelming if you don’t have space for them.

Going with a Celeste Fig for now. They only get 10' high and 10' wide. I like figs and that is the perfect size.
Persimmon trees aren't available until late fall early spring anyways. May get one then.

I have ice cream banana trees. Planted it a little less than 2 years ago and have my first crop ripening. I also have 6-7 other pups off that one plant. Just gotta cut them down after they provide fruit. I'm in Clearwater so I don't have to worry much about to cold of temperatures. So far so good with what's grown so far.
