The cavendish are the only ones that have problems with our winters. I'll bring them inside if we get a freeze warning, but I don't do anything to the other plants. The biggest issue I've had with them is getting blown over during windy days. Their pseudostems are 6-8ft tall.

I bought my blue java from a guy in Sacramento. His established plants' pseudostems were at least 15ft tall. If yours is the same, I would be worried that it would fall over
