My 'Ice Cream' has held up well in the wind. Last year I used straps and it survived 60 mph gusts, and this year so far it has easily stood against 50 without support at 10ft tall. The leaves were ripped from the midribs, however. The wind, unfortunately, is all that's keeping me from planting a 'saba.' And I kid you not, the wind fell a few georgia pines already this year.

Maybe I should be considering a Mysore, or similar wind tolerant banana? I really like the taller herbs.
