I have so many Dwarf Orinoco banana trees (people in my area just aren't interested in growing these!) that this year I will have to cut them down and preserve the corms, I hear others do this but i'm relunctant...I'm afraid I will kill them! Would someone walk me through the process? Figuring this winter we will again hit -20 degrees for stretches at a time so that will put the rooms in the house at temps. of 40-45 degrees. Will this kill the corms? If I wrap them in plastic, will that not also kill them? How often should i sprinkle water on the corms during the winter? Most of the trees are from 2008 and now are putting out pups, when (if) they stay alive for next spring, will I have to go another year before they will pup anymore...I'm alittle confused on this. Thanks for any help!
