This is one of the most sensitive bananas I've grown (maybe 40 varieties or more). I had 3-4 large plants surround by some smaller pups of VC going into last winter, one with undeveloped fruit hanging, and they all died completely. It was a colder than normal winter with 35 nights of frost and one morning got down to 22F, but none of those days were very cold during the daytime (40s or higher).
