Bananas only fruit once from each plant & then die. If you top the plant and cut into the flower bud your all done, so I would not recommend it...

Thank you.

15' may be hard to get into the garage during winter once it gets that tall.

Then you should put it to sleep. Take all soil off roots & lay it down in a cool dark room for winter. Just click on this... read on - it's about 7 pages long but good info.
