So a little about my situation, I moved into a new house in October of last year that had a beautiful bunch of banana plants, probably my favorite part of my backyard

Well I live in the Dallas/Ft Worth area and we were hit with a big freeze. Before the freeze I trimmed the plants leaves and I tried to maintain them best as I could but a part of me feels like they are dead now. After the weather calmed down I went back out to check on them and I found that all of the stems were soft/mushy to the touch, no longer hard and a few had fallen over because of this. I took a machete and cut them down to ground level and what I have been seeing is that a few look like they are rotting. They are oozing white and reddish/orange fluid.

Can you all give me advice as to what I should do? Are they long gone?
