Now, if you were in a borderline area, yes, the thickness of the stem would determine how frozen it got if it just went below freezing for a little while. But if was cold long enough no thickness would help.
So I voted no.

Okay, here I go trying to influence the poll outcome.
Sandy, if you read my clarification (post #3), I ask if it is a factor at all and acknowledge there are other obvious factors. In your own post you make it sound like you agree that it's a factor, at least in some areas. Yeah, if we get down to 20F and stay there for several days until "hell freezes over", it's not likley to make much difference though it still affected how quickly your plant froze and died.
You're crazy to be growing bananas up there anyways! lol
