I don't want to pin favorites on my bananas, they're all my babies, but I will give a huge thumbs-up to my "Ice cream" (pretty sure it's a Namwah) - After the mother went through several nights of unprotected 20-something degree cold weather last winter, then finally died to the ground, and sprouted up a new pup after receiving no water whatsoever until May when I dug the corm up, found out it was still alive, then plopped it back in and patiently began watering it, and after a lot of summer heat and not enough water, now this fall the new pup at such a small young age being bitten by frost, then pulled up with its stump of a mother corm still attached, brought indoors to grow, and sprouting a brand new leaf.

It's a tough plant that has gone through a lot, haha! From the original mother's previous summer pampering then torturous neglection through winter to the new pup's torturous summer neglection and winter pampering.
