LOL...oops, I had changed my text before posting and it ended up saying the OPPOSITE of what I meant to say in the first sentence. I fixed it now. Basically, I don't think many naners will ever survive winters in Iowa. It gets down to at least -20 F every winter in my area (and it hit -37 F the winter of '08-'09). I don't mean to be pessimistic, but any plant that is considered 'tropical' will more than likely succumb to that intense of cold (and prolonged over periods of weeks/months like it does). The most optimistic thing I could say is that there 'is a chance it MIGHT survive with hardcore protection' but again...not very likely.
