Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gran Nain is a cavendish variety....which are pretty susceptible to the cold. Then again, there are people on this board that grow bananas in zone 4 and 5, so really, it's totally possible. Like JD said, fruiting is questionable, but you could always do as we do in colder climates: dig up in the fall, pot or induce dormancy and plant back outside in the spring.
