I would like to see pictures/ read his report on a glaucum overwintered in that climate! I even have trouble with them inside, at 5 deg C!
Kind regards,
Remko.
I would really like to help you, but it's all in German and I can't really translate it not feeling asamed
He's from Germany, seems like a nice guy, he also has some links on his web on other German nana growers.

Scroll down in here.

It says for Ensete glaucum something like:
Wintering: At about 10°C. It has to be overwintered in especially dry conditions. You have to get it inside (he porbably gets it to the cellar) than "Ensete ventricosum Maurellii". Temperatures around 0°C affect the leaves badly.

Hope to have helped somehow. It seems, the word DRY was stressed, as if he had soem really bad experience.
