Well, I definitely have some experience in killing bananas! I can tell you that Musa 'Royal Red' is not the least bit hardy. It's fairly well known that Musa beccarii dies back in the low 40sF, and turns to mush at the drop of a hat. M. acuminata ssp. zebrina is pretty tender, as are most of the Cavendish lines. I have M. 'Jamaican Red' out this year just for giggles to see if it sprouts back. I'm not expecting anything, although it was a pretty huge corm. I think Hua Moa is pretty tender also, but I haven't left mine outside to test it. Of course there is also AeAe, which is very tender. That's all I can think about right now...I'm sure there's dozens more!
