I only have the one Dwarf Red mat. It does not die back during my winter, which is mild, seldom dropping below 40 F for the night time low temp, and typically at least 50 during the day (and often much warmer). Also, it is right next to the house, which keeps the temps up some. It is just a very slow grower over winter, maybe a single leaf produced over 3 months, whereas other varieties (especially the Pisang Awak ones) will grow more than that. As a result, it is slow to produce fruit.
