Default Re: praying hands apple banana can they go dormant

They go dormant, just not in the way you think. Unlike apples, nut trees, etc which lose their leaves when dormant, bananas enter something akin to stasis. They keep their leaves, but the metabolism and growth rate slow down, and or come to a halt, somewhere, supposedly, around 50/55F.
