Tommy,

Dwarf Namwah, Tall Namwah, and Misi Luki are all in the same subgroup (Pisang Awak), all handle tough weather, and all are tasty.

Robusta, Valery, and Lacatan are all tall Cavendish cultivars and are NOT the same as any of the reds -- which are even more cold sensitive than the Cavendish varieties.

Dwarf Brazilian is very tasty and does very well here even when temps get into the low 30's, but I don't know how it does in places where it really freezes or gets blazing hot.
