Default Re: question on winterizing basjoo

I protected mine with a straw cage and covered with a plastic tarp, the stems were cut back to 3 feet. My low last winter was about 5 degrees. I had enough protection that they grew all winter, except for about 2-3 weeks when we had a ice storm. I had to lift the tarp and cut off the new growth every couple of weeks. You can see they are growing in March. The last photos were taken in May. That is a 6ft fence behind them. I plan to protect all of my bananas the same way this winter. My other album has photos from August.
