Default Re: M. itinerans var. xishuangbannaensis after a few hard frosts

I am 99% sure 51st state is only joking around when he said "cocky"! Gotta love british humour! :-)

Thanks for sharing the photo. According to your picture: The stems seem to show good hardiness to cold, almost like m. basjoo. If I was you though, I would not take any chances and wrap it in a thick layer of hay, this way trying to preserve as much stem as possible. I would love to see flowers on your banana next september!
