Default Re: Protecting in-ground banana plants from cold?

The gardening editor for our loacl paper suggests stacking trash bags of rotting leaves around the trunks of bananas and semi-hardy citrus. I've never found the need to do this, but I can see how it would help. We may lose leaves in a frost or freeze, but the p-stems come through just fine.
