Default Re: Hardiness of Musa Sikkimensis "red tiger"?

My M. sikkimensis is much smaller than that, having just planted it out last year. I think I have a pic or two in my gallery. The red splotching on the newer leaves faded out after it got a little size to it. Really looks nothing like a Cavendish IMHO. Here it is last August. That small pseudostem survived with just a bag of leaves placed over the top of it, and it's working on opening up its first full leaf right now.
