That is exactly what the 'cold hardy' list is about. Banana plants that have evolve to with stand colder temperatures for which their Tropical cousins can not. Look at the list for fruiting bananas for your zone. The Orinoco, Carolina King, and the California Gold plants have been fruited in Northern California, Seattle, and North Carolina.
