Re: dwarf cavendish help (first thread!)
Bring them all in.
In my zone 5-6 only a Basjoo will overwinter if planted correctly and mulched.
Basjoos is a reliable plant that will give you that tropical look you want year after year with minimal hassle.
Our zone is just to cold to do stuff like that.
When a banana plant is referenced as cold hardy to me it means ( somebody jump in here if there more can be added) short periods of cold weather riight above freezing and able to withstand light frost without heavy damage to the p-stem or leaves and still thrive.
If your enclosure is a heated green house, yes they will survive ...
Your bananas are small enough to maintain in a sunny spot if you have one inside .
