By saying to bring into the house you made me think about bringing them into the basement for the winter in pots, would you advise that over just mulching them over? I don't think I can really built up any soil around them because they growing right next to other shrubs. Best I could do is throw a bit of mulch on top of them but hearing you I don't even think that would be enough. I could try to put them in the pot and leave by my bedroom window (If I convince my wife its just for this winter) but how would they do with not much light ? Tough choices.
I was reading your post again and now I am bit confused, you said june would be latest to replant the basjoos for you. So what about the Bananas I just bought from Home Depot ( I think I said lowes previously)? Technically I am replanting them into the ground in July, are they going to die in the winter cuz they are planted too late ?
