Default AeAe fruiting and 33 degrees coming

This weather sucks!!! I know, it could be worse. My AeAe is fruiting after three years and we are expected to have 33 degrees Friday night. I always thought "wow how do they do it back east with that damn cold"! Well I covered the fruit tonight.

This plant is huge! The top of the flower stalk is 10 1/2 feet tall. I thought I was going crasy in the dark on the ladder protecting my babies. The overall height is over 18 feet. I hope this cold leaves and my AeAe produces bananas. I now have way more respect for those of you who cover them up.
