Hi Friends!
This is the banana trees overwintering with no cold protections in the ground
of zone 9.
These trees are neither Basjoos, Sikkimensis nor Helen's hybrid, but are of an
unidentified species of edible banana of good taste(the landowner has already
tasted the fruits).
Despite the cold waves of some 20esF hit and frost fell here several times
this winter, these trees have survived with very little damages.
The reason for their survival could be considered that there was always a
slight breeze day and night that prevented cold wind and frost from staying
in the same places and thus consequently suffered from very little damages.
