I've been hearing more and more about people in our zone(7b & 8a border) that don't mulch them at all and the Basjoo survives just fine were they left off from the previous year.
I don't really think you need mulch once you get them established.
I use it mainly because it makes free compost.
I do like the tarp though. I see others around here not use them but I'm sticking with mine, maybe more for those elephant ears you can see than the bananas
