Default Re: Praying Hands?

Hello there, I live in Daytona Beach. Zone 9b. But I am also a mile from the beach and that helps us here because I-95 is only another 2 miles west. After you get past I-95 the temps are always 5° colder than us here. I have not had a frost in 4 winters now. But to the point.... I have praying hands and they are large plants. Also every single one that I have grown have leaned over really far as the fruit matures so would possibly have problems staying up straight and not falling over. As far as the cold goes It is under some high trees that might also help from the intense cold at night. I have not had any loss from the cold. Although banana trees stop growing when the night temps hit 55° that also causes the leaves to die off before it is time.
