Hey neighbor, I'd put some more thick mulch at the bottom, in a big circle around the plants to protect the roots more just in case.
Did you plant them a foot deeper than they were in the pot originally when you got them? if so, then you won't need to mulch them deeper at the bottom. you are only about 20 miles from us, you'll have to come over and see our big blooming banana when you get in Muncie. It has around 100 bananas on it so far!
