Great news for 1st year banana hardiness experiments, ay? Grand Nain has survived its first real snow today (and so has Pahari Kela, after what I recovered it inside!!! - safety measures), no damage, minimal temps around 34°F and no damage to leaves (I should also mention that these temperatures are constant, so it's just 34 to 40F all day and night-long), P-stem or what-so-ever - no damage or signs of anything bad....
I haven't had a chance at looking at what damage the latest frosts have done but I guess now I'll have to feel "lucky" about having cold crap weather for a couple of weeks as I even did some mulching a few weeks back. All my exotics are having their first winter out and at least they had some time to adjust now.
