South Pacific, the Tropics, Florida........Banana trees come to mind. These lush plants are very tropical! But the hardy Basjoo can also take winter temperatures down to -20Â° F, when properly mulched. In fact, itâs the cold hardiest banana tree you can find, growing as far north as Minnesota.outh Pacific, the Tropics, Florida........Banana trees come to mind. These lush plants are very tropical!

Cut the zucchini into the desired sizes and shapes for freezing. Place a large pot on a stove. Fill it with well-salted water, and bring it to a full rolling boil. Blanch the cut zucchini in small batches for two to three minutes. The water should remain at a full boil the whole time. If it doesn't, you've put in too much zucchini. Remove them and start over once the water returns to a boil.
Freezing Zucchini shredded or chopped. Pick zucchini and cut off the ends. You can either use a cheese grater and shred it, or do it the easy way and use a food processor. Cut into chunks the size that will fit your food processor. Using the pulse button if you have one, coarsely chop. Spoon into zip lock freezer bags. I store 2 cup quantities as this is how much my zucchini chocolate cake requires.....
