Overwintering in Phoenix
I dug my DC's out with the method mentioned here on overwintering them bare root in a crawl space. but recently found out that bananas here in phoenix can typically sustain the cold winters, the P-Stem might die down but the corm almost always survives as the ground never freezes below the soil line...
my question is since I already have them dug up and have them drying out in my garage for the past couple weeks (garage is typically 58-62 degrees right now) should I just keep them in there dry with no water since the roots already died and the leaves dried up to a crisp. or should I try to bring them inside next to a window potted up with very very little water. Since the roots died already and the leaves are brown and crispy will this just cause the corm to rot?
What should I do?
I think next winter I will try to just mulch the ground heavily and see if they can take the temps.
