Sugestions for more cold hardy bananas.
 

I am curious. I planted two musa basjoo last spring 'late' and overwintered them in cages of straw. What other bananas would anyone suggest for our short growing season? (zone 5). I would dig these for winter and store them in the basement. We also have some very windy days here in Nebraska and am curious about bananas that have strong leaves so they won't shred so much. Any suggestions anyone?:coldbanana:

Thanks for the suggestion dablo93 I will try them, and I would love to have some palms but I don't think any will grow here, winters are way to cold, I think.
