My opinion is that if you can put your bananas in your sunroom during the winter and can regulate the tempt not to go below 40 degrees then I think it is OK to separate now. That's my experience and it depends also the kind of banana you will transfer for its hardiness.
Yes, I am anxious to have flowers in my bananas like an expectant father whose wife is expecting a baby. That's what I am. I am a banana nut and I should put this in "are you a banana fiend... ".
The best candidate is Joe's dwarf Brazilian and everyday I am looking for a sign of a flag. I am hoping that it won't and wait till Spring but if it does, then I will have to do something to protect it. The other kinds are my dwarf cavendish who are growing very nicely in wine barrel.
It's nice to have a 12 foot ceiling and that's what I will add on not as a sun room but a cover for my bananas. I bought that thing at Costco and I just don't have time to put it up yet. A free standing I can't remember what it is called gazebo maybe.

Now I know what it is called. It is called "Pergola". It measures 110" x 140" and the height is 7'1" but I plan to adjust the height to 10-12 feet.
