| I wonder who has overwintered any of musa sikk or cheesie around the great lakes area - Detroit, Toronto, Cleveland etc. There is a nursery here in southern ontario they have alot of different bananas but they say the basjoo is the only one that will over winter here - yet I'm hearing that sikk is possibly hardier than basjoo - I don't see a really big difference in the winter here in southern Ontario near lake Erie to lets say areas in PA and Michigan or Ohio for that matter - Now Cincinnati that would be warmer and lets say Detroit would be marginally warmer than myself by 2-3 degrees - I've heard that Sikk has been over wintered successfully in Ottawa now thats cold 10-15 degrees colder than I get - so who has successfully overwintered these 2 species around or in the near vicinity of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan.

| I tried twice. No luck. Apparently there are two forms of sikk (at least)? Mine does not have any purple on the leaves. |
