Hey guys!!! It's been a while since I've been on the forum.

I was hit by the historic Winter Storm here in Texas and was freezing without power for several days. I tried to protect all my plants the best I could by covering them all with multiple bags and then laying blankets on top of them.

Miraculously 4 of them have come back to life so far. The first two were Blue Java and Tall Namwa. Now i'm a true believer of their claimed cold hardiness.

The other two just coming back are my Dwarf Namwa and Praying Hands. I'm still in the game BBJ!! Although set back a little

I'm really hoping the rest of them come back... but it got down to 14 degrees which is unprecedented down here. Here is a pic of what they look like, you can see the Namwa and Blue Java springing back to life. My other bananas not shown in the picture don't look much better - but we shall see!
