The first commercial banana farm in the United States was established in Florida, near Silver Lake, in 1876. It is known that Ponce de Leon brought bananas to Florida in the early 1500’s. A number of independent banana farms and cultivars have been located in a number of areas, reaching as far north as the southern Midwest and Ohio River. This region equates roughly with the northernmost terminus of the subtropical crop-growing region of the US, which ends at about Cincinnati, Ohio, and further east in cities and locations such as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New York City and Long Island in New York, and coastal regions of southern New England. Banana growth further west along this ecological transition line, such as in central to northern Missouri and northern Kansas/far southern Nebraska is highly dubious and uncertain, due to extreme temperature fluctuations and an increase in aridity.
Other states that have been popular locations for independent banana farming have been Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, North Carolina, Hawaii, Virginia, Arizona, California, Nevada, and Maryland. Florida has seen a number of independent and big-name banana cultivars inhabit its land throughout history.
Bananas have also been cultivated in states of the Pacific Northwest, including in areas of Washington, Oregon, and various highland areas and sheltered oceanic/temperate valleys in southern Idaho.
In the 70's, a variety of bananas, including Ice Cream and Cavendish, were commonly grown throughout the Appalachian region, primarily throughout sheltered mountain valleys in the east of Tennessee and north Georgia.
I had no idea they grew so far north.

Do they think they can only grow in Africa?

Just as an FYI, Grok says 8,000 metric tons of bananas are grown annually in the U.S. Florida and Hawaii are the biggest producers. A metric ton is 1000 kgs or 2,204.6 pounds.
That approximately 57.14 million bananas.

We can grow bananas in the US. They just may not be as mature as they are when grown in South America, or at least that’s my knowledge of them

I have a couple of banana trees but they've never produced.

Real question... with greenhouses and technology, couldn't anything be grown anywhere?

U.S. Banana Production
In 2024, the United States produced approximately 3,500 metric tons of bananas, primarily in Hawaii and Florida. Hawaii focuses on varieties like the Cavendish and the Hawaiian apple banana for local markets, while Florida produces Thai and cooking bananas (Bluggoe type) for niche markets. ?
U.S. Banana Imports
In contrast, the U.S. imported about 4 million metric tons of bananas in 2024. The primary suppliers were Guatemala, Ecuador, and Costa Rica, which together accounted for nearly 90% of total imports. ?
Comparison
This means that over 99.9% of bananas consumed in the U.S. are imported, with domestic production contributing a negligible share. The U.S. is the world’s largest importer of bananas, accounting for approximately 20% of global banana imports by value. ?
