Default Re: When protecting musa-stems for winter....

Keep in mind that you'll have to clean this up in the Spring, and on a windy day, a bunch of peanuts could be troublesome. Not to mention the proliferation of peanuts that melt in water - if condensation gets on them, you could end up with an unprotected tree in a puddle of goop.

Be well,
Mike
