I have lost the leaves, but the pseudostem in still hard, despite one frost of -9 C and another at -5 C
Has anyone else done this in the UK winter climate? or tried to do it? Please let me know details of attempts, Ta.

I don't really know about UK, ut one guy fromCzch republic (average -20 in winter) left one Ensete glaucum outside, just to see, how it goes. It took 4 nights of -12 in a row and still survived. Lost all the leaves though and was getting over it half the spring.
Hope it helps.
