Is this what you mean?
I have no personal experience with the plant. I'm simply pointing out that a plant that is cold-hardy for zone 11 is not necessarily cold hardy for zone 9 -- as growers in the UK and Israel have found by experience. Also I am taking issue with the claim made by some that Hill Banana is one of the hardiest edible bananas. I'd be happy to hear of some success stories outside of the tropics -- for example from Jack Daw or Ante.
