Re: Overwintering strategies.
My favorite banana pix, which I have lost track of, was a from as fellow in St. Louis who had all of his bananas laid out on his lawn, after removing them from winter storage in his basement, and ready to plant. He had about 30 pseudostems, most 8-10' long. I knew that was dedication, and I knew I wouldn't have wanted to lug them in and out of a basement. Let's face it, they are heavy. I moved about half a dozen such monsters one rainy February day (long, long story about a pissy neighbor). That is work.
Harvey, yes, I know somegthing about winter storing of bananas, BECAUSE I read this forum, and occassionally (despite my best efforts) I learn something. ;-))
I also know that storing them in-ground in San Diego is one of the easiest methods. No digging, No lugging. Fruit stays on the tree, to ripen. Yes, moving here is a big project, but you only do it once and you are done. There is not need to do it every year, as other strategies require.
