Default Musa 'Mona Lisa'

On a recent trip to a local nursery, I found a banana labeled, "Mona Lisa." At the time, I hadn't ever heard of it, so I resisted purchase until I could do further research. I checked the Wiki, and it pretty much gives the same information that the tag did, so I wanted to ask if anyone here has ever grown this variety. I'm curious about..

- Cold tolerance
- Wind resistance
- Heat tolerance
- Growth trends

The plants they had looked very healthy. The pseudostems were very thin, but the leaves were nice and big. About three feet tall, at $14.99.

Any input is highly appreciated!
