I think CG is small enough to grow in a large pot so you can take it inside your house during the winter. With plenty of glass of course for sunshine. The average height is around 5 feet and the leaves might reach to 4 feet in height or less. But your problem might be space.
As for me I am thinking to cut all the leaves and wrap them with something like cloth or styro foam and leave them on the ground next winter . Not with my CG and dwarf Brazilian but with my other bananas.

If you knew how plant sadistic I am, you would be surprised. When I get hold of some CG, I will make sure that I will have "safe pups" that I will put in for winter, but other plants (especially, when the mats will be larger) will be tested year by year.
The only problem here might be humidity and precipitaiton. I haven't seen a banana, that would be able to resist rain, frost, snow, meltdown, frost, meltdown, rain... and that's what our winters look like.
