Ok, here's what I've decided to do tomorrow evening...

I'm going to chop the plant down to two feet. Then I'm going to wrap it snuggly with a bunch of burlap, round & round repeatedly, and then a plastic tarp around that. I'll mulch around the base with the cut banana leaves.

As Willy knows, we get lots of snow here in London, and it can act as a mulch in itself. We also have lots of tree leaves too, that I intend on mounding up around the base.

Sound good enough?
