Re: jury still out on sikkimensis hardiness?
M Itinerans is not so good if you cannot leave it in the ground. It doesn't really go dormant (stop growing) during winter and does not store well (good)because it uses up it's energy growing in storage.
M Itinerans is particularly hard to keep if you cannot keep it's leaves on and growing all winter. Probably one of the most difficult bananas to bring indoors and store.
I would recommend you pick a different banana where you live. How about E Maurelli? That stores well and looks good.
