Default Re: A new DVD about growing bananas is available

Jack, some plant pathogens produce survival structures that can withstand low temperatures, so it is difficult to generalize. In my opinion it is not very likely that most of the major banana pathogens from the tropics would survive prolonged exposure to the winter temperatures you mentioned. Some nematode species or viruses might be able to survive 32F.
