On the subject of other general tropicals that stayed out, there were quite a few. My valencia orange (now setting fruit) has survived many cold winters, including last year. I lost two of the trifoliates and two survived. The pineapple guava is remarkably hardy, and the kiwi A. chinensis surprised me by coming back. The taro that managed to stay completely dry survived, while the others rotted, though they were unmulched. I did lose my windmill palms last winter, though, along with the red and yellow P. edulis that were in the same greenhouse as the ice cream banana.

Here is a side view of my poor banana. Anyone?
