You may try Musa sikkimensis, it is slightly cold hardier than the basjoo. Last winter, side by side in the backyard, Musa sikkimensis did not have a single damage leaf, while all the leaves of my basjoo got fried, but the trunk remained alive. We went to as low as -3 deg C with about 10 days of total frosty nights.
