Any hardy to zone 5?.... like that would kind of retain their leaves so

There was discussion some time ago about the lack of diversity among
bananas, how growers had bred diversity out of them, and that they had
become an endangered species--subject to various diseases.

To this I wish to add--from another list--that an Icelandic scientist

new

species of Musa.
