I don't think all banana's are the same and comparing them or generalizing the subject isn't going to help a new person. Basjoo & Orinoco are in a class by themselves where as Cavendish's, Reds, Veinte Cohol, (and Plantains from what I hear) can get taken out by a good cold spell, and a hard frost is going to get the leaves. Someone might get lucky and have a light burn the 1st day but the 2nd time leaves are toast. I am not using any plastic this year around my Banana's we'll see if that helps. :^)
