The Pseudstem is still alive.

Hello Bananafans!

The pic shows a way of my banana overwinterings outside, wrapping straw
mats and putting a plastic bag with breathing holes in order not rains sneak
into the plant stem. I do hpe this way would work well and keep the plant
alive till the spring comes back.

As a matter of fact, I was so tempted that I removed the cap and look into
the coverage, and was relieved that it is green and still alive at the moment.

As a newbie to this, I find photos showing what steps people take to overwinter their musas very interesting. Thanks for posting. BTW what zone are you in?

Also loved your Audrey photo which I commented on.

Thanks for the photos Stan! Looks very neat. Your plants will probably go throught the winter with flying colours.

My stems (Sikkimensis, Helen, basjoo) are protected with hay only, and no rain-cover. Even though it's all wet, none of the stems have rotted and all are green and firm under the hay-protection.

Right now we hare experiencing a low of -7 degrees C, so I am very worried and excited about my sikkimensis and helens. Basjoo, I think will be OK.

Hello　Debca and Erlend!

I thought I had missed inserting the photo in the post.
But guessing your replies, the picture could have been successfully attached.
If it is not the case, please tell me so, then I will send it again.

To Debca: I am in zone 9A and the lowest temperature of this winter untill
today was 36F/2.5C. It has been extraordinarily warm this winter quite
contrary to CA.

Thanks you all.
Stan
