Default Re: Florida freeze

Seems like people all around me got hit really hard, even several hours south of where I'm at in Orlando, but somehow I lucked out.

Mine look a whole lot like yours. Some partially browning leaves but nothing too bad. Might have a couple racks of bananas not make it/be really slow to fill out, but the plants will be fine overall.

There were some surprises as far as how the different types handled cold. This is anecdotal of course, but FHIA18, Monthan, and Virupakshi were completely unaffected by 32/33 degrees. Namwah, Mysore, SH3640, FHIA3, Pitogo, and (shockingly) Patupi had very little damage. Dwarf Brazilian did surprisingly poorly relative to its reputation as a cold tolerant type, though overall it's still fine.
