Years ago I managed to fruit a 1000 finger banana in a container that I made by cutting a 55 gallon poly drum in half. Wasn't sure if it would work or not but it did, and I was rewarded with a lot of very tasty fruit.

The Dwarf Red fared very poorly :

Is there any hope for my Red? Two of the leaves are almost ripped off, and the remaining leaf is burnt/dying. I'm surprised at that, since it wasn't hot at all on Saturday or Sunday or Monday.

Does a plant this size have any respectable corm underneath? Does it have any reserves to push out some new leaves? Or should I think about buying a replacement plant?

It's alive!! The rest of those original leaves died off, but the plant has pushed out the beginnings of a new leaf:

C'mon, little banana! You can make it!

The Ice Cream is in similar shape, e.g. all the original leaves are dead, and it hasn't pushed out a new leaf yet, but that one seemed to be quite a bit more mature than the Dwarf Red, so I have hopes it will survive, too.

A little warmth would help. I suppose I shouldn't have tried planting these in November!

In the landscape it's possible to see some of my guava trees, avocados, and in the flowerbed some pineapple plants.

Thank you my friend! The weather we have this year is very challenging... too much rain and a bit colder weather. Very bad for the usual fruit trees. My banana trees seams to like all this rain but are growing more slower.
