Any thoughts on my zone 8b, In ground, banana winter protection.
Right now my plan is to build an insulation tube to slide over my banana plant. Here is a link to the product I am looking at at Lowes.
Shop Insulfoam 1" x 4' x 2' R-3.85 Insulated Sheathing at Lowes.com (http://www.lowes.com/pd_41336-10477-1X24X48+R-TECH_4294858106__?productId=3033248&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo=)
I think I want to build the tubes by taking two of these, cut in half lengthwise then glued to make a tube about 1 foot sq and 4 feet long. I figure I could then add them in 4 foot sections. A string of Christmas lights go inside of that.
