Kyle, I would actually put it fourth, if you aren't counting Musella lasiocarpa (5th if you are counting it). I would tentatively rank them from most cold-hardy to least cold hardy as follows: Musa basjoo, M. itinerans var. itinerans, M. sikkimensis, M. yunnanensis. I'd put Musella somewhere in there around M. sikkimensis. The only reason I rank the others higher than M. yunnanensis is that they come back from the old pseudostems, whereas M. yunnanensis has not (yet).

Thanks! I don't think a bloom is going to happen this year, but I'm considering protecting one or more of the pseudostems in this mat to try and get one next year. I might have it, M. basjoo, and M. itinerans all blooming next year!
