Whoa...

Are you saying that you think you can overwinter that variety in the ground in N. Indiana? Under a vast blanket of plant fiber insulation maybe?

I'm looking for a banana that I can try in S. Ohio that has had a history of cold hardiness in zone 6 temps.
Is there such a beast?
If so, what?
And what is the picture of it?

I'd like an alternative to hauling these pots in and out twice a year.
