Here in Norway, my Musa Helen seems to be fine. It was the smallest plant overwintered outside at about 120 cm overall. Its stems are still green and solid.

The weather here has been very wet this winter. Coldest temperature was -8.9 degrees C in February. The only protection was a wire-cage with hay. Might need to take the hay off soon as it's all wet. Dont want the plants to rot when temps rise.
