Re: Did I kill my banana plant?
no, you haven't killed it but you are very close to killing it and so is winter.
first you shouldn't have cut it till spring. 2nd, you are dangerously close to cutting the top of the corm which will kill the mother itself. but she will still try to put out pups.
what will want to do now is to keep her very warm during the frosts and freezes until this winter is over.
this is one way i have been doing it this year, it withstood a heavy frost and a freeze. but i may have been lucky, covering with a pot and a bucket. but i am in 9b. a garbage can and a light bulb is probably the way to go for you. or something similar. you will want something removable or you can open for the warm days because you can fry it.
