Cold Protecting in-ground banana plants from cold?
Howdy,

I would like some advice on protecting in ground banana plants form "cold" winter weather. I am in Zone 9.

I have two plants in the ground with ~6ft of psudostem, that will likely flower next summer if I can protect them. I have never fruited bananas before, but have sucessfully grown many other marginal tropical plants here.

I would like to hear advice and experiences related to protecting plants in the ground.

Pictures of your methods would be great.

Thanks,

Jeff
