Re: Please help me ID this.
Looks like I am in zone 6b. I need to come up with some kind of portable greenhouse that's heated. I hate to cut them down and really have no place inside to keep them as they are.

Re: Cool winter storage of banana plants?
If you have room leave them in the pots. Don't water much if any, they will be dormant and not need any water. If the pups are on the mother I would leave them there .
