Re: maybe any kind of banana is cold hardy in zone 5?
I mulched my Musella lasiocarpa and my musa sikkimenesis last fall. the Chisese yellow just (last minth) sent up one pup. The sikkim never sprouted. I dug up the corm, cut some rot away on the top and planted the rest. Nothing has grown yet. Wish it were so; my sikkim, Burmese blue, maurelli and glauca, etc. would not have to be dug and dragged inside.

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."
