FYI - I really can't say much more about this banana except I realized I neglected to mention its height. I estimate that Shawn's fruiting bananas are about 12 feet high (psuedostem). The two bunches I saw today probably had 80-100 fingers each. He probably had the same lows as me this year, somewhere between 28F and 30F, which is slight warmer than normal, though we had many more days of frost than normal. The bananas received no protection at all. In fact, Shawn doesn't like the ragged look and removes all of the leaves in winter.
