Hi Doug,

it depends very much on how much mulch you pile over them. And if it is lose mulch, the minimum
should be covering the truncated pseudo stems wit upturned flowerpots, to ensure some
separation from the soggy mulch and to prevent rot as much as possible.

Your post sounds, as if you are not prepared to put a lot of effort into preserving them. In case I am
wrong, you may want to look here: Permanent banana shelter for winter and spring.

Alternatively you might want to pot them and bring them inside. If bright indoor space is a problem,
you can easily bunch several of them in one pot, depending on size of plants and pots. Since they are
not likely to grow a lot during the low light period, they will not need much soil per plant.

Good luck,
Olaf
