Randy,

They have been through cold statification all winter until a few weeks ago. It has been 17 degrees on a couple nights this winter for the absolute low. The bananas were mulched so I estimate the seeds to have experienced temps in the low to mid-20's. The old flower petals added additional insulation.

I soaked mine for three days, changing the water daily. Then, I put them in a moist paper towel inside a sandwich bag. They are sitting on a heat mat right now.
