This last winter temperatures hit 27F degrees at least once with several nights below 0C, in Cape Coral. Usually Coconut palms do well here. Many coconut trees were not killed outright by the cold but many died later from associated crown rot brought on by the cold weather. This winter was the toughest I've seen in Southwest Florida. For the banana that faired best in the cold check the cultivar section of my photo gallery, specifically Musa itinerans itinerans.
