It may be a little early to talk about overwintering methodes, but they say
"Make hay while the sun shines" or "Lay up for a rainy day"!.
The following methode was useful and successful for the overwintering
under the eaves where nusas were not exposed rainfall possibiolity.

On the other hand, the same methode was not successful outside in the
ground.

The reasons could be considered as follows:
1. Rainfalls made the protecting mats wet and when cold spell came the mats
were frozen thus damaging the growth point inside the pseudostem.
2. When the full sun shone on the wet mats, inside the mats became over
heated and this would bring fatal damages to the growth point.
3. Thus protection mats might turn out to be a damage factor rather than
being protection factor.
Your advices or opinions are appreciated.
