I would definitely get it!

And in My experience, Ice Cream bananas have impressive cold tolerance. Mine Survived hurricane Irene (probably gusts up to 60mph in my yard) which shreeded my Basjoos, but only damaged the emerging leaf on my Ice cream banana. My Saba was also undamaged (another reason why its one of my favorite bananas!).

Good luck!
