![]() I'm growing it in Zone 9 central/northern CA, with occasional temps below freezing at night. So far, 3 winters in the cold rain soaked ground and far from dead... I got over 40 bananas from her last summer, and her pups are looking very lively this spring.
Good luck! |

![]() I must contribute also. My Ice Cream made through a few nights in the very low 30's without losing any leaves. It was an unusually cold winter for us here in zone 9 Florida. We are only about 3 miles from the ocean so it keeps the temps from staying in the 30's. Allot of the strawberry farmers had substantial losses, however. I would say the Ice Cream tolerates light-temporary freezes overnight, but it must remain between 40-50 degrees during the day for it to stay alive.

![]() I experience several nights of frost during witner where I live near Houston. My IC lost all of it's leaves but the pseudostem made it through just fine, though I did wrap it. Our low was 32 several times this past winter. My IC is now 10-12' tall to the tip of the tallest leaf.
