Banana tree winter care info
Hey everyone,
So I live in Zone 8 A (central texas). I had 2 banana trees that were planted in ground and they died in the winter. This time i am planting it in a pot. How do I winterize it (take care of it in the winter)? Winter temps. 20-40 degrees. Sometimes less or more than 20-40

Re: Banana tree winter care info
My first question is how you protected the plants in the ground. My bananas (Orinoco, Ice Cream, Raja Puri, and Rojo) can manage 20 degrees if I cut off their tops and cover them. Personally, I'd much rather cover them occasionally then put them in pots.
