Thats awsome. My bananas lasted until 11/27 in St Louis (I used freeze pruf). On the night of thanksgiving it got down to 28 and my bananas didnt look so good so I just cut them down. I probably could have left the basjoos a little longer. But I needed something to do last weekend so I cut them down and cover them up. My experience with the freeze pruf is that it adds about 3 degrees of cold tolerance with no damage, at 28 degrees I had some damage even with the freeze pruf. I am waiting to see how it works on my windmill palms.
