Dwarf Orinoco appears to be a hardy variety.
I have been interested in trying this variety myself but have not been able 
to get it. In Australia we have quite strict laws in relation to importing 
Bananas.
Still if any one in Australia can help me with this (or any other cold hardy 
varieties) it would be much appreciated.

The California Rare Fruits Group have useful information on Bananas (see 
following links)
