Re: How to cut them down for inside storage
Unless the ground is heated, leaving a banana corm in the ground in central Wisconsin is certain death, unless it's a Basjoo or other very cold hardy specimen. Even then you'll need to keep the frost...

I have the benefit of extra warm days 35-40C, but temps at...

Re: NorCal deep freeze
I covered some citrus, but not the large trees. I am heading out right now to see what the damage is and what I can do to help them all along.

Re: Apple banana need help
Moving to the shade possibly made the plant stretch for more light. I notice the yellowing and brown spots before the plants slow dow much. Cold and wet nights do it for me.

Re: Winter time question
The corms will overwinter better in the ground mulched heavily, and kept dry, then if you kept them in pots. They are better insulated from freezing that way.
Good luck!

Re: Tissue Culture Workshop Interest
That's a great incentive, Harvey! I sure hope we can pick up those last 10! I thought for sure we'd be able to get 16 people off the west coast to sign up.
