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

Can someone chime into the "drying out" that i think I'm seeing and as to if that's normal for winter storage? Do they come out considerably thinner in the spring?

I have about 30-35 dwarf Brazilian and red dwarfs that range in size from 3-5 feet that I dug up here in Michigan about a month or so ago. I stacked them like wood in my basement garage where I've found winter temps are great for canna rhizome storage. Anyways, I am seeing what I would assume is leaf die back and I'm seeing a little gray fuzz around the areas that have dried out and died back. My question is is this typical for what one can expect for dry root storage?

My mekong giant, which had four shoots about ready to break ground when I dug it up is starting to shrink a bit too. Normal?
