Thank you!
It's now Feb. 19th, 2016 and here's how they look after being beaten up by many heavy rain storms and exposed to a few days of freezing temperatures. It's surprising that the Raja Puris (biggest plants in foreground...edit:verified these are not rajapuri, flowered july 2016. Still don't know what they are!) didn't completely die back! With El Nino hitting California hard this year, we've had a relatively warm winter, so that's been a plus for these bananas. Fingers crossed they produce this year! One of the varieties that we think is "hi color mini" completely died back under identical conditions to the rest (it's the plant at the very top of the staircase, looks like some stubs).
