Default Keep Fruiting Leaf Warm at Night (South Florida)

Hi All -

I have a banana plant that is currently fruiting. Because of the cool evenings we've had recently, about 20 or so very small flowers/with fruit have fallen to the ground. Would it help to wrap a plastic or burlap bag around the flowering leaf in the evenings to keep it warm/protect it?

Thanks in advance.
