Re: Still Think TX Star Can't Handle Zone6? - How About Zone 4?
Getting back on the above topic I live just a few hours from Kevin (mentioned in the first post with the Trachy and the Texas star bananas) and have visited him. His styrofome structures with the low watt lights for heat are very simple and cost efficient but I believe it never gets close to freezing in these structures; it is hardly a test of hardiness. I am planning on using these structures to overwinter a variety of tropical plants. If a banana can survive without rot or freeze I think a lot of different plants can as well.
