Was wondering if anyone else is currently growing these and how hardy they are?? I saw in the wiki that they prefer heat and humidity, constantly above 90, but in my experience from this past season they seemed to get stunted by the heat and are growing better now that it has cooled down a bit.
For me ..

This is a warm weather ornamental banana that grows well in a container.
Grows well in the warmth and long days of summer and is one of my first plants that let you know summer days are getting shorter and cooler.

Overwinters great indoors with additional lighting when small.
Not as forgiving as an Orinoco though.
Said to tolerate zones 9a and up......similiar to your Bordelons
They look very nice and should do well for you
