Neil, you might scout around for a Musella Lasiocarpa. They are very pretty and mature plants are even more cold hardy than the M. Basjoo.
Hi Chong,

I looked at the Musella Lasiocarpa's zone and it says Zone 7b which means, it can do upto 5F. However, musa basjoo is zone 6b which means, it can withstand up to -5F. That means, musa basjoo is more cold hardy than the Musella Lasiocarpa.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Neil
