Default Re: Looking For Edible Plant For Michigan

All good with the hijack Any info helps as I haven't grown much!

I've seen on the internet to winterize people will cut the stem of the plant around 2 feet tall and cover it with mulch for the winter. If I were to bring the plants in during the winter could I cut the stem around 8 feet tall? I am wondering since my ceilings are only 8 feet tall, I'd like to bring in as much of the plant for the winter to help give it that much more of a chance to produce fruit for the next season.

Thoughts? Could this be possible? If the banana plants are held at 45 degrees or above would that be fine also for most plants? (Wondering because I'd most likely store them in the basement where it is cooler but there is more space)

Thanks!
