Re: california gold winter
It depends on your growing zone.

Re: california gold winter
I'm no expert at this, but I guess you could trim off all of the leaves and wrap it in frost cloth. And don't water it much during the winter, that can cause rot.

Re: california gold winter
I've read that California Gold is zone 7, and another site is zone 8. Still Being in zone 8, California Gold might be fine outside provided it has good drainage(no clay) in ground with well protective cover from frost. As for me, I am in zone 8, North Texas. And I dug my California Gold, and placed it in a pot inside my sun room. Bananas are easy to dig out, unlike trees.
