Default Cold Hardening bananas

Hi, new to the forum here. I'm in Utah and wondering if theres anyone here from Utah thats growing more cold hardy types of bananas indoors or heated greenhouse that has pups to share or sell. Also, I was wondering if anyone has tried methodically exposing young Banana plants/seedlings to just enough cold to stress it and almost kill it but not quite, let it recover, and repeat this many times to maybe develop more cold resistant plants of types like Dwarf Cavendish that could condition it to handle down to 32 before dying? Wondering if this could work to squeeze a few more deg out.

for me this happens every winter. no change. but some take the cold better than others.
