Here's a great banana tree for the colder areas. The picture shows my idea of the best agriculture, where your food plants are just part of a complete ecosystem full of many different species.

"A rare and beautiful banana from the Himalaya's. The Darjeeling Banana bears sweet edible fruits but is best known for its spectacular cold tolerance, able to survive temperatures to 10F! Huge ornamental leaves are green with red and purple mottling. It is a beautiful plant and can provide an unmistakable tropical look to both tropical and temperate gardens. "
