Your picture is amazing! I have two dwarf cavendish, only one is fruiting right now. We generally don't see frost or freezing temps until late Dec or Jan, but we're going to dip around 39 tonight and tomorrow. No rain in sight. I buried both trunks with a foot and a half of mulch about 10 minutes ago. I'll do everything in my power to keep them warm.

I know they're tropical plants, but it's funny- unless there's a hard freeze, everything (container citrus, apples berries, etc, etc) get covered with sheets and towels. I'm going to go for broke to keep the nanas warm.

Here's one lame excuse- my cats love to lie under them to stalk birds. They don't try to climb them or use their claws on them- I think the texture puts them off. Hee hee.

So, I should let them grow for as long as possible, and give it a shot?
