Hi Mark,
I think it will be a couple of years before I can plant them out, like your self I’m notGoing to take any chances I wont backups first.
Gary Watton left his Musa Tibet out unprotected and it lost half the pseudostem stem At – 6.8c but it then grew back the following spring and Paul Spracklin said in the winter of 06-07 his Musa Yangtse lost all its stem but came back from the rhizome the following spring, he never said what his temps were that winter but for my self it was –8c, saw I think with a little protection Mark they should get through most winters.
