2 Do you remove all the leaves over winter?.
I hope I get a response on this thread,if not I will have to try elsewhere
By the way I am trying to grow a Red Abyssinian.

you can leave the bottom leaves on forever, basically, and shouldnt have any problems. i tend to cut mine off when i see that the leaf is dying back along the pseudostem. it is not critical to remove dead leaves.
Remove all the leaves over winter? i dont know about that, i have mine permanently indoors. you may want to bring your banana in for the winter if it gets too cold.
