Re: Winter Protection Zone 6 - Fingers Crossed
It might help if you put some old dried-up tree leaves around the ones outside when it gets colder. I don't know how others feel about this but from what I understand about banana plants is the Corm Underground is the Brain that controls all nutrition the leaves and fruit receive.
I probably would have chopped it 4-6 inches and put something to keep them warm on top. Just sharing my knowledge(opinion), I will always be a newbie. The stalk left standing will add resistance to the new leaves that form next year/It might take longer to get started puttin out leafage next year with a tall old stalk/p-stem.
BUT this resistance in the old stalk may just help put more energy into more pups?
How do you feel about this?
