Your banana tree looks better than those that are planted here. I assume because it's sheltered from wind.

Still no info on those small palms, but they are some yucca or agave. Yucca jaliscensis is cold hardy to at least -15C, so those suckers will survive. But I believe they are only temporary. They have planted beeches there as well (which don't grow naturally in Finland, or didn't, now they have arrived), so must take a look at some point at them. Missed them completely.
Put it in the ground asap. By the end of summer you'll have plenty of suckers to put back inside.
Thanks. Funny you said that because I noticed the suckers growing already in the pot.
I'm worried I might lose the main tree. I had a young hardy Grapefruit put in ground last fall and it didn't make it through the winter. I didn't cover it well.

I just have to find a spot for the Banana.
With your summer heat, you should have a plenty of plants bigger than your original banana, by the time it cools off. All they need is rich soil and lots of water.
It's hard to see any citrus making it through your winter. Even in mild winter climates like the UK/PNW, cages, covers and heating seem to be common. Good luck.
Didn't take this myself, obviously, but the dry, hot, typical Okanagan weather is causing it's usual problems.
Fire southwest of Penticton, BC
Reminds me of the time I was in kelowna when they had the big fire.
