That was a fast reply! Well, it depends on several things: the variety, how well you care for them, how cold it gets each winter, how much rain we have, etc. I'm not sure how cold-hardy you're going to find Grand Nain to be as it is a Cavensdish variety if I'm not mistaken. The Cavendish don't seem to be overly cold hardy here. My Super Dwarf and Dwarf Cavendish usually don't fare too well in the winter and I'm probably 30-40 miles further south than you. I'd plan on giving them some protection if I were you. Check out the cold hardy page and search some of the threads for how people protect their bananas. You should find a wealth of info.
