banana plant newbie
I have several banana plants[don't know what type] around above ground pool...the smallest plant is at least 7' tall, and all of them have "pups' ranging from 1-5' tall...now that it is fall here, I know I need to store them, but have no idea how to prepare them and even if I have a good place to store them...really need info on preparing and storing...the temperature around here [N.C.] sometimes will drop into the teens, once in a while lower during winter...I've read online to dig them up before first frost and to wait until first frost to dig them up...some say cut leaves back just before stalk, some say to cut plant down to a few inches above root ball...

Re: banana plant newbie
I posted the following previously here:
Prepping basjoo for winter IMOEO there is a trade-off. If you pot them and have reasonable growing conditions, it is of course win/win. But once the plants grow larger and you can no longer provide adequately for indoor growth, you have the choice between bare root wintering, which will hopefully preserve most of the PS, but sacrifices most of the roots, or you can winter them outdoors and sacrifice most of the PS, but have the roots in place and settled in, ready to “hit the ground running”. From my wording you can probably tell which method I prefer, and it is also less work. With my new shelter, which will allow me to take advantage of warm days in March and April (most of that month), maybe even February, I now hope to add the equivalent of more than one month to the growing season, which would otherwise not start here until early to mid May. That widens the gap in favour of outdoor wintering. Good luck, Olaf

Re: banana plant newbie
I agree, they're probably Orinoco.
