I planted a small start in my yard in Spring 2010. Did not mulch. Winter dipped one night to 15 degress F and 5 other times to 20 degrees F. In May 2011 it resprouted at ground level, and is now regrowing vigorously.

The best banana. Great for tostones (fried green), plantanos (fried ripe), eaten fresh out of hand or microwaved (baked) for about 10/15 seconds then placed on top of frozen yogurt/ice cream.
