Re: blue Java, Ice Cream hardy to zone 7b?
After watching my last banana plant die I'm not unsure if the last plant died down to the ground (corm survived) during winther or not. I'm starting to get the impression after temperatures drop making sure it gets absolutely no moisture may be what helps (insulate it, etc).
BTW I'm starting to feel winter the high today is like 82! |

Re: blue Java, Ice Cream hardy to zone 7b?
Orinoco do great in eastern NC. They come back every year without protection and if I protect the psuedostem with plastic or bubble wrap they survive sometimes too.

78°F = 25,5°C 80°F = 26,6°C 60-69°C = 15-20°C The temperatures at which water freezes is 0°C (32°F) and the water boils at 100°C (212°F). Human body has in general around 37°C (98°F). Btw. We have almost the same temps now. Zone 7b/8a too, but in Europe.
