If we just get down to the low 30's, I would not lost a single leaf on all of my bananas unprotected.

We have been consistently in the mid to upper 30's and dipped down to 30 deg F one night, so far and all of my banana leaves are still green, only shredded from the wind.

When it gets down to the mid 20's that's the time I will do some tricks to save the leaves. I don't worry about the p-stems, not even last year's arctic blast can kill them.
