Default bananas in MN

anyone growing bananas in MN---and leaving them outdoors throughout the winter. tried some one winter, protected them nicely etc., but unfortunately one of our downspouts had 'come loose' a little and drained water into their area and froze their corms/roots, so we had MUSH!

i do want to try again, we had some pretty cold nights this last winter, but otherwise our winters have been tracking pretty warm latey.

live just west of the twin cities, zone 4. we live in and OLD church, so you can imagine insulation is not real good, and it helps 'raise the zone level' next to the building a bit!

thanks all
