Frank, in the UK we have been trying yunnan for several years but unfortunately they have prove to be a no goer for us, the stem doesn’t survive the winter and our summers are to cool for it to attain any height growing back from the corm.
I think that is one of differences between the UK and US when it comes to hardy bananas
We need some of the stem to survive, but with your wormer summers you can get away with it if only the corm survives, although we both need the stem to survive if ever we are to flower them.
