I have yunnanesis, rubinea, itinerans var. gigante, basjoo, cheesmani, Musella, and will be getting soon nagensium, thomsonii and that 'Giant Bract'. I must say that so far (although no real tests of its tolerance have been run), Musa yunnanensis (which is very distinct mind you) has taken the cooler temps much better then other more common ones (not including basjoo and those hardy ones, but like "normal" bananas). I should add that I will be testing hardiness on most of these species in the near future.
