Hi Paul & All,
But Paul, there are some places in NS where bananas don't do well.
And frost penetration is a function exposure to wind, slope and insulation.
Up here we had 6-8 weeks of extreme windchill with no snow cover.
And many weeks of constant runoff with tile drains, which worked well
for 10 years, plugged solid.
My information source runs an excavator for a living so I expect he
knows more than most about frost depth in 2018-19.
