I have a misa luki I planted in the ground in zone 6b this spring. It was a small pup and is now about 8 ft tall and 6" in diameter at the base. Does anyone have an idea about the cold hardiness of this banana? I am considering leaving it out and building a wire frame around it, stuffing it with straw and hoping for the best. My hope is that it will flower next year. It has zero pups. I also have an Ice Cream that is slightly smaller. Same problem.
