Default Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter

I just protected mine today. I made a whole blog post on the set up. The musa basjoo was a bit of a challenge to protect since the pseudo-stems are around 7ft tall. The barrels really helped out a lot.

Here's the entire set up for all my outdoor bananas.
