Re: Protecting in-ground banana plants from cold?
On thing I learned last winter: cover in ground bananas with plastic to keep the mulch or leaves dry. I had two that I covered and three that I did not. the two that I covered the mulch with plastic came back and the uncovered ones rotted in the ground and did not come back. Its also helps to have banana plants in a raised bed in well drained soil. we have a lot of clay in St Louis and I removed a lot of it from my planting beds. Now I have a big pile of clay dirt behind my shed that looks like crap. - Jeremy
