yes most likely as here in zone 9 our bananas are just barely recovering from our crazy winter

yes if its still firm you might plant it in a pot and water well and bring inside and you will get a surprise.

Thanks, will have to try it.

Yes, and it may very well send up pups, even if it doesn't send up new leaves. I had one that was a donot - the center hole went clean through the corm, but it sent up half a dozen pups before giving up.

A quick way of getting a dormant potted corm to sprout is to place the pot on a heat source (e.g. in a heated propagator).
