bananalover,

i put 3 5-6' tall orinocos in unheated garage and they lost half of stem on 2 and one just didn't make it..

if i were you and had a less hardy banana plant, i wuld be looking to keep that plant above freezing..
i know the d.o. and rajas can handle down to 27-28F.

the ones in shed may look into xmas lites to wrap around it for below 32f, but no guarantees..

*if the plant is going dormant they don't need light, short days are what starts sleepy time for them..
