Default Re: cutting banana for winter

If you have hard frosts/freezes, you'll want to protect the corm from freezing, or cold wet soil. Let the soil start to dry out about a month before your first frost date and do like others on this site and make a cage with leaves in it and a waterproof wrapping.

Basjoo will come thru the winter better. The other bananas, especially the edibles are more cold sensitive.

Good luck!!
