He said that the local commercial stands of Gran nain/gross michael do badly, so a little more cold tolerance couldn't hurt Capt Steve's chances of growing a good fruiting Cavendish. In my former zone 9 in California there's no way you could get away with any Cavendish variety. Maybe there's another that would be a better substitute, that has Cavendish like fruit. Maybe one of the FHIA's would work?
