Default Will it choke to kill the plant?

Hello everyones!
I am going to overwinter in zone 9 Rajapuri and Williams hybrid outdoors on
the ground. What I will try is cut all petioles off and wrap the pseudostem
with strawmats and then overwrap it with plastic sheets.
Now I have a question if doing so will choke the plant to death especially by
wrapping with plastic sheets which prevent the plant from breathing.
Wrapping only with strawmatts is seemed a little bit unsufficient, so I like
to overwrap it with plastic sheets.
Or is it unnecessary for Rajapuri and Williams to protect so much under zone 9?
Thanks in advance for your usefull experiences and opinions.
Stan
