I choose Musa sikkimensis because it may hopefully not defoliate the majority of winters in Pyrgos where it usually doesnt get below -1C or at the very most -2C most of the years(some years we dont even see 0C) and the record low of the area is -3,6C about once every 20years. I wasnt aware of Musa saba(is this a true species or a cultivar?) but i do know of and like Musa peekelii. What is the leaf hardiness of all these species? I want them look good yearround and not have them loose their leafs annually due to a couple of cold nights we only get every year...
Thank you very much in advance!

Saba is an edible cultivar that is supposed to be cold hardy to zone 8 temperatures.
You can read all about it here, in our wiki:
Musa Saba - Bananas Wiki
Sabas are difficult to come by, but they can be very productive and beautiful. But most of all - their fruit is edible, so they would fullfil more than just aesthetical purposes.
