Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
Yes, but keep in mind that they need to go out of the soil on for several weeks, so they shouldn't dry too quickly.
Finding the right place to overwinter them is the tricky part, actually. Once settled, i think it can be repeated every year.
Last year i putted all of them in my garage, wich i discovered, was too cold. Rajapuri rotted pretty slowly over 8 weeks from dicember to february, after having shown the first signs of decline... drwarf namwah recovered after being putted in my basement (wich was a little hotter).
Overall the dug method hasn't been a big success for me, but you have got to kill some plant if you want to lear to grow them. And given my climate, it is the only method aviable to grow nanas.
