There is a lot of information on wintering bananas in this forum. The one, which impressed
me most is Lynn’s wrap here: http://www.bananas.org/newreply.php?...treply&t=19321
And then there is my own: Permanent banana shelter for winter and spring
The latter may inspire you to do some tinkering well before fall.
Wishing you success,

I did cones like yours this winter, just without the inner square. I piled mulch as heavily as I could inside as well and then mounded dirt and mulch around the ouside but it didn't matter. Once November ended we were below freezing with only one thaw until late march. Even my inground palms took a hit inside of their boxes, along with my electric bill with how long the lights stayed on in there!
