Default Re: What is the coolest temperature before plant damage?

It really depends on the cultivar. Some cultivars don't get leaf damage until frost is formed while others will show leaf damage as high as the 40s. I had two mystery bananas planted in the ground over the winter, and the temps got as low as 34 degrees with no real damage. The varieties you have aren't particularly cold sensitive, so I wouldn't worry unless temps dipped below 40 degrees.
