Hi!
As we are nearing the time of the year where our Bananas get to spend their time outside to grow and multiply, I could not help myself thinking about how I will overwinter my bananas next year. I was wondering which bananas could actually be left in the ground, cut down and Mulched in zone 6b. Is it only the Basjoo or are there a lot of others.
I am thinking about buying some more to create a nice Privacy fence like area with Bananas for the Summer time at the back of our property.
If possible, this will become a almost 100ft feature of banana plants.
