You just reminded me of the one I forgot. A 10 gal Musa yunnaninsis from agri starts was also in the cold greenhouse with the larger cheesmanii and the M.yunnansis bit the big one! Next year I'm not going to keep any bananas in there, since it also killed alot of three year old T.fortunei seedlings. For some reason the new T. Naga hills had no fatalities out of the same number of seedlings as T.fortunei, and the T.naga were in their first year.
I'm betting that M.manni is hardier than M.veluntina. Looking forward to hearing your results this next winter also(M. helens hybrid, etc)!
