I live in zone 9a and it survived freak snow. Bananas edible but you have to cut lower half of fingers to allow upper to grow.

I have a question do u thing it would grow in a zone 3

Ok, question.  When the fruit is described as inedible, does that mean toxic or just that it tastes like crap/weird texture/all of the above.  How attractive is it to deer? I'm super interested in hardy banana for homestead tamale wrapper purposes.
