Default Re: What is the hardiness of a musa Thai Black??

Probably about 38 degrees since its a tropical banana. My cavendish seemed to get some frost damage around 38. You might try freeze pruf, that will add a couple degrees to the cold tolerance. Protection from cold wind also helps a lot, it you have a place up against the east or south side of your house or a building that would be ideal.
