I found this site googling around.

In 2008 I bought some small musa bajoo and lost them last winter. I was lazy. This spring I bought more mature plants, and when we got our first frost I made cages from chicken wire, cut the plants back to about 12" tall, and covered them with mulch. I'm hoping they live.

If it goes well I'm hoping to add different species and do my best to make a cold central New York a tropical paradise, even for only a couple months in the summer.
