Default Re: At what temprature does leaf damage start for the following species?

For me,defoliation temprature plays some role as it determines if I am going to look at poles after middle winter or if I will enjoy them yearround with leafs. So is there no variation at all on the temprature the different species defoliate? I thought the cold hardy species like Musa sikkimensis would maybe be somewhat more cold hardy on it's leafs too. I know Musa basjoo keeps it's leafs most of the winters in Pyrgos for example but I don't know if the more tropical species would do the same. Do all Musa defoliate when Alocasia for example defoliates? This happens some of the winters in Pyrgos.

I understand that these will be full if seeds(which is good) and there won't be much to eat,but which of these have that little pulp they have taste very sweet? I must also agree that many big hands make for a better looking bunch too! Impressive flowers are a big plus too!

Do fruits damage at the same tempratures as leafs when maturing on the plant?

Sorry for the so many question!

Thank you very much in advance!
