Default Re: How do these bananas store in the winter?

Patrick,
I cannot say how they do in an unheated basement, but I overwintered an orinoco and a raja in my unheated garage last winter... Both were small potted nanners and I simply put them in the garage as is and did not water but twice from Novenber to mid Feb. They both did great until warmer weather and I would take them out for a few hours and watered them early in the day... The raja ended up rotting on me and the orinoco never skipped a beat... The main difference fro the garage and basement would definitely be the light and that is why I didn't trim them and left them in their pot... I will be interested in seeing what others say about the no light situation... I am sure BigDog will be able to give some great advice especially on the orinocos for that is who I got mine from last summer/fall...
