Is Ensete Maurelii cold hardy?

Has anyone here successfully overwintered a Ensete Maurelii outdoors?

What temps can it survive?

Re: Do you think it's safe to transplant my basjoo outside now? (Zone 6)

I think it adds to the shock of it getting so cold all of a sudden. Especially when it hasn't been overwintered outside, is not used to the temperature, humidity, and just the outside climate in...

Re: Growing 'Musa Basjoo' in London, Ontario, Canada...

Hey Hollyberry, your plant is definitely looking much bigger!

When in May do you plan to bring it outside? Are you bringing out your pot to acclimatize your basjoo during the daytime?

And when the times comes, dig out the pot...

Re: Need Musa Basjoo tips for Zone 6 (GTA, Ontario)

Ah I see, but that's not 4 feet is it?
