Hey Paul,
It is best to consider musa cold hardy lists as general guidance - we all have different regional and micro climates. Richard lives in California (I assume his is an arid climate) The Mississippi Gulf coast is hot and humid - zone 9a is accurate most of the time. Temps can drop from 70s to freezing overnight during winter cold fronts and may dip into the high 20s f some winters. Temps can go from 70s f to 30s f overnight - then back to 70s f the next day. Our high humidity also brings frost that will fry nana leaves above 32f. Confuses the hell out of my nanas and fruit trees. I've have blooms on peach and pear trees right now. But they won't make it through the winter
Happy Growing
Jose
p.s. The D Red pstems in my yard are about as cold hardy as the D cavendish mat right next to them.
