Hello friends,

It is so written that Musa Cardaba is extremely cold-wind hardy, and not
written what temp. can it withstand under which conditions and so far.

Does anyone know about this?

My two - and two pups - made it through our winter very well with temps in the 20's.

I'm glad to hear they did so well for you. I have just started growing this. It is about 4' or so and gave me 3 pups so far. This is my first winter in the ground.

The tag I got with it says 9'-15' tall, cold hardy to 20 deg. bunches of large fruit, best cooking banana, bluish-green skin, self fertile (presumably meaning you don't need a pollinator for fruit?). It says nothing about wind resistance.

Anna, do you get much rain?

What is rain??????? LOL! We haven't seen rain for a very long time.
No, not much rain unless there is an El Nino condition.
