Fried Banana anyone?
Here's what a Musa basjoo looks like after exposure to sub freezing air! You can tell it wasn't too much below 0 since the folaige in 'protected' spots is still bright green! These plants are at my garden near Kingston, ON. The official low at the airport was -0.6C, I probably hit more like -1 or -2C being inland from the lake shore...

We had a frost here in T.O. as well with the official low at the airport hitting 2.1C (~34-35f). Some plants are still fine, others in more exposed locations are a little burnt.

It is definitely the time of year to enjoy Musa while you can. I haven't had a frost yet but they are still complaining.
My craziest story doesn't involve me (for once). A buddy who loves bananas is going through a divorce. He plans to dig up his favorites and move them into his new home. A 19th story apartment. A tiny one. Just hope he doesn't ask for help--I have enough chores right now. --Erik

Bananas
They still look good.
Enjoy them while you still can.
I will have to try and post a pic of mine.
