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.
Directions. 1  1The main secret here is not to slice the zucchini too thin. Thin zucchini cooks through too quickly and turns into mush. 2  2Brush all sides of the zucchini strips/slices with olive oil. 3  3Sprinkle all sides with the Kosher salt, black pepper and minced rosemary.  4Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. 5Once the grill is ready, place the zucchini on the grill and grill directly, with the lid open for 3 minutes (turning halfway if you want some pretty grill marks). 6Flip the zucchini over and continue to grill for another 3 minutes on the other side.
