Only thing I have done is pile mulch around the base of them all,and caged with chicken wire the base. They are still pushing leaves out and my Cavendish have done fine with 2-3 39* temps at night. But we might have not gotten that cold here though. I mulched them real good,then I think I will wrap that with plastic and then place my hoop house over them. They are right up against the house so kinda protected. So we will see if they make the winter whether its a normal one or not. I have spare pups.
