Good thread Harvey.

Most hardy for me seems to have been 'Orinoco'- no surprise there.

2nd would have to be 'Raja Puri', which already has about 4-5 new leaves.

'Ice Cream' and 'Hua Moa' pulled through well for me and are growing again already.

'California Gold' is growing well again. It's leaves were hurt by the cold but the pstem seemed fine all winter despite only being about 1' tall.

My 'SDC' and 'Dw. Cavendish' were pretty much reduced to mush, despite being wrapped in freeze cloth during cold periods.

All of the above listed plants were wrapped at each cold event except for 'Orinoco'.
