Default Re: What is the least hardy banana-plant/cultivar?

All of the reds - and any thing the literature says is native to tropical regions. That is why I am excavating and replacing the Red Iho, the unverified white Iho, red Kru, Saba (cause it's too big and tall and close to the pool enclosure), and the Pitogo, same reason. As I am tight for space the following are the replacements. SH3640, Belle, Logees Ladyfinger, Manzano and the Pisang Klotek.

Hey, great news ------ did a trade with a good buddy and neighbor, Katkin, from the Gardenweb, and got a 3 ft Siam Ruby pup dug out of the mama. It has two distinct pups a'budding. Time will tell if I kill this one off like I did the other three. Just in case ---took it to Mackenziemiller to get it potted with the good stuff - topped off with an inch of vermicompost. Ooooooh baby!
