Bananas must be left outside, unprotected.

In Zone 9, Northern California
It may be too early to tell. But if the plant is cold hardy at the pseudostem while potted, then it should have signs of growth such as leaf pushing out.

Here's what did not survive for me this year 2008:

Mauritius
Gran Nain
Little Prince

Here's what survived:
Enano Gigante
Goldfinger

But Mauritius survived last year's Arctic Blast of prolonged 20 deg F temperature, but it was under the eaves of the roof, next to a wall. This year, it was left under a deciduous tree, and it died.
