2nd " .... California Gold
3rd " .... Misi Luki & Dwarf Orinoco(incl. toll one)
and then 4th perhaps Raja Puri

And what is the ranking of Icecream. May be 5th or so?

I am also in 9, so your experimental informations help me a lot.

Next to California Gold would be Thousand Fingers, then Misi Luki and Mysore, Raja Puri and Ice Cream would rank the same from my previous non-arctic blast tests.

I was surprised also that a potted Mauritius survived the whole arctic blast ordeal! It is leafing out from its brown pseudostem, and it would have been tougher if potted. Either the Mauritius is cold hardy or I have yet another mislabeled cultivar. Too early to tell, will know soon by summer's end what I have.
