Yes, As I know it's cold-hardy at least as Carica papaya...
Babaco does not like temps above 80f. I am sure however you can graft it to a disease resistant healthy rootstock. Should impart some adaptability to low land tropical climate.http://stfc.org.au/pawpaw-papaya-grafting
I had babaco growing well for about 6 months and then it died. Both Babaco and Tamarillo have done great until July and then both died. If I were to try them again, I would have them in the shade. The Tamarillo fruited but died before they ripened. The Babaco flowered, but then died.
