Default Re: Temperaturewise, when to move banana plants outdoors?

Could you tell me how cold (and for how long) you get in the winter? And do the in ground bananas get rained on, or watered, during the winter?

I've had a few in ground bananas survive the winter here (wrapped with layers of Agribon), but they get root rot in the early spring and die. I had one rot from top frost damage, and watched it spread down until the entire plant was killed. I try to keep the ground dry by using plastic tarps tight around the trunk. So far my luck has failed me.
