What will happen if I don't cut my bananas down for the winter?
I have two pretty large plants outside (in Atlanta) that I was given as gifts as babies. Don't know what species but they're not cold tolerant. Last year I cut them down after the first freeze and coveted with pine straw. This year they got a lot bigger. After a few freezes they're looking pretty rough. I wasn't around so haven't cut them down yet and now I'm wondering what would happen if I just left them. I know a lot of people say to do what I did last year, but I also see plenty of plants around town just hanging out looking dead. Will they come back either way? What will that look like if I don't cut them?
