Thanks for posting as I had not seen this yet. I am interested in them for my other tropicals. As for bananas, I think these cables would be less useful b/c the corm can survive in most zones with good ground cover prep. It is the stem one wishes to protect if fruit is desired. I think in more northern zones, the heat tape could be a better choice. Price looks about the same.

I am in Z9b. I tent my tropicals (Z10-12) with heavy plastic and heat the inside with light bulbs. No problems so far with the few cold nights per year which would otherwise kill them.
