Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
Maesy, I have left one leaf on several pseudostems, and most made it through the entire winter. In fact, the ones that did stay green stayed that way for a couple of months after planting outside! I was going to try that with some of my larger plants this winter, but an early frost put a halt to that though.
Nucci, I have never grown m. zebrina. I do know that it is a tender, and from what I have been told by others, the pseudostem will more or less dessicate over the winter if stored under the house.
