For some reason my back yard seems to have a couple of spots that trap cold air but I really think that it's just the cold overall. Since I have lived here (2003) our average low at my house has probably been around 32 but almost every winter, except last, we dropped into the high 20's a few times, and one winter down to 22. Dw. Cavendish and Dw. Red both turned to mush on me on multiple occasions, so despite how much I simply like the way Dw. Red looks, I decided it was pointless to try to overwinter it and I took both of them out of my home garden.

I lived in Houston (Bellaire/Sharptown area) from 79 - 83. I would have thought Pearland would have been great for bananas. I guess the heat island really makes a difference.
