Most leaf cold hardy variety
What is the most leaf cold hardy (least frost tender) variety? It seems that when people talk about cold hardiness it is always about the roots.
When we get light freezes here in Austin, some bananas get fried but others make it through the winter without any noticable leaf damage. |

Re: Most leaf cold hardy variety
Location of plant (protected, south side, higher ground, etc,) plays a big part. But we have found that Basjoo appears to have hardier leaves than the Sikkimensis which after first frost is zapped while Basjoo may just have a singe here or there. We have not tried the tender ones, so very good question for those growers on the borderline where bananas grow but still have rare frosts.

Musa Basjoo, Dwarf Namwah, Maybe Mekong but mine from PDN has never done good so no idea. But East an west side plays a part in my yard as well.
