My bananas weathered the unprecedented 11 days of freeze/frost sufficiently well to have bounced back rather nicely by now. There are many pups, and on some plants, there is still a lot of dead material. I have several questions.

How do I know what material needs to be cut and how do I cut it?

Should I move pups (and 3 foot tall sub-plants) away from the originals, and how is this best done?

Given 7 gallon and 15 gallon pots available, how does one transition a banana plant into one of these pots, and would a 50/50 manure-compost:dirt ratio be suitable?

With the above pot sizes, what are my banana plant size limitations, and what problems should I expect? It will be temporary, until I move, but could be up to 6 months.

Thanks folks. If you would like pictures to see exactly what I'm talking about, I will try to get some good photos now if it's not too dark.
