Hi Erlend,

Although it is said that Musa Helen's Hybrid is very cold-hardy, I first have
heard that it withstood -8.9C being green and solid only with a wire-cage
with hay which created a comfortable environment with moderate humidity
so as not to dry up the stem and leaves.

Thus Musa Helen's could be a very expectable species of edible(???) bananas
in the marginal areas. Do you agree with me?
Viva Helen's!!
