Never tried to protect the stems Bill,this year I will leave my Basjoos out too.I will store my mystery Banana plant in the basement to keep it's size-

I live in Fairfield Iowa-52556 it's in extreme s.e. Iowa.

Don't forget you thermo cube needs to be in the same exact place as what you trying to protect! In the case of my Butia /Washys I will have it inside one of the enclosures.I am also toying with the idea of leaving my A.americana out.

One more thing-I do usually use fungicide on anything I close down for the winter like leaf cages.I also mix in a little wilt-pruf.
