Default Re: What is the least hardy banana-plant/cultivar?

It's been about 10 days since that cold snap (officially 38 degrees here, 10 degrees cooler than record for the day, though evaporation + radiative cooling caused the dew on my windshield to freeze when I turned the wipers on as I pulled out that morning).

The ice cream looks fine.

The dwarf cavendish look fine on their north side, where they tuck slightly under the ice cream and a small palm. To the south, where they have a good look at the dark sky the leaves have large yellow patches on the leaves.

The leaves are burned on the young siam rubies in ~5 gallon decorative containers and completely unsheltered on the outer edge of the patio. But new growth is well on its way.
