That is a nice bonus after freezing, i would say.

Ed, i used to grow bananas, but i dont recognize that particular plant....there is a Musa acuminata 'lady fingers', but it doesn't look like that one...at first i thought 'Orinoco', but the terminal inflorescence looks wrong.........

Regardless, that is pretty cool after such low temps...thanks for the pics!

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Sad, that they wont ripen with out leaves.

I have a variety here in central CA that fruits every winter even when the leaves freeze off, they regrow new ones and fruit in July.
