GATrops

From the experiments we have carried out in zone 8b (Savannah, GA) over the last 4-5 years, it is one of the top 3 or 4 in terms of it's tolerance for the cold. The pseudostem of Saba appears to be better capable of living through the winters in our area than a large majority of the other (50+) varieties we have looked at in the research project. (Of course you are a good bit colder during the winter than we are in Savannah.)

Saba is also one of the most impressive plants in the field. A real eye catcher in both height and girth.
