Thank you very much for your replys and help Jack and Ante!
What was the minimum temprature your bananas saw and the pseudostems survived?
Generally we get a little above 0C tempratures during daytime when we get snow and this weather with minus C during the night and plus during the day can last up to a week although it can also be much shorter in duration.
I dont mind leaf destruction in Melissia,i feel lucky i am even able to grow and possibly fruit them there! But in Pyrgos i consider leaf damage unacceptable as the climate is great there!
Its great to know the pseudostem is 2-3C hardier than the leafs! If i see the leafs damage and its predicted to fall even lower more than 2 degrees,i plan to wrap the pseudostem in a blanket and wraping film. Would that provide enough protection for -6C on a single night? Or should i used flexible tube Christmass lights wrapped arround the pseudostem and the blanket and wraping film? As always,the less the easier it is for me to construct on last minute along with a series of potted plant relocations...
Wow,thats a monster Ante,well done!!!
Its a beauty!!! Mine is 1-1,5m shorter than yours
You will surely enjoy a flower next year from it and i hope i may enjoy one as well if the pseudostem survives!
What do you mean by wind shelter? Do you mean just that its location provides is sheltered from the wind or that you will add something to shelter it from cold winds? My Ice Cream is planted at the most wind protected place of the garden and i am enjoying mostly entire leafs from it
Thank you very much in advance!
