Default Re: maybe any kind of banana is cold hardy in zone 5?

Well, St. Louis/MO is zone 6ish....but I have nowhere to even plant in the ground here. I was referring to my home in Iowa where it is very definitely zone 5 at MOST. It is much warmer here...very weak by my standards. In Iowa it isn't uncommon for it to not get above 0 degrees F for over a month (and above freezing 2-3 mo.) while getting blanketed by feet of snow. I doubt Basjoo are even hardy there...but I never have tried overwintering anything there.
