Default Re: cold fruit

Banana sap does in fact gel and you will see chilling injury even without a frost of freeze. The low at my house was 44, the problem is that it was below 50 for the entire day and I can see some damage on the leaves.

The farm got a lot colder and I could actually tell where there was frost in places. Fortunately the frost only appeared to occur in open areas, although some of my Dwarf Superplantains seem to have taken a good hit.
