There is not a species called Musa yangtze. They are all M.yunnanensis varieties collected from valleys along Yangtze river. Some of those varities are quite cold tolerant and I have seen them up to elevation 2.25 Km. Due to cold tolerant of these varieties farmers grow them for animal fodder as they can survive over the winter and their leaves can stand some snow too.
