I guess about as well as can be expected. We ended up with something like 12 or 13 nights in a row below freezing - and many of those at or near 20 degrees. I cut the leaves off of everything because I hate the way they look. On the 9 ft. pstem it looks like I've lost the top 3 or maybe 4 ft.
Luckily, this plant was big so it will be fine. I'd have to rate hardiness as pretty high, all things considered. Some winters we get only a few frosts and light freezes, this one really beat the hell out of us. I'm more worried about my young plants I put in the ground assuming we'd have a typical light winter. I may be replacing alot of bananas this spring!
