Unfortunately the article, while discussing the impact of low temperatures on the fruit, it did not go into much detail about how low temperature affects leaves. However, if the fruit can be harmed by low, but above freezing temperatures, even during relatively brief exposures. it is safe to assume, that the leaves are similarly susceptible.
In my case the Basjoo sustained some damage, to the upper leaves only, after a light frost, while the lower, more protected ones remained still in reasonable shape.
Let us hope, that the rest of the winter will remain warmer and friendlier toward your bananas.
Best,
Olaf
