Re: to cut or not to cut
I agree with Pat. I wouldn't cut them back. I try to limit my cut backs to spring as well. Even though they make look sort of ratty with the leaves all yellow and hanging down, I think it can add a little cold protection to the pseudostem if you are in a real cool area. Having said that, I will take the occasional leaf off but I absolutely do not cut back the p-stem until I see what, if anything, has been damaged by the cold come spring. In my opinion, cutting the pstem back just delays flowering.
