As with all of my other bananas here in the Houston area, I just leave mine in the ground with no special protection. That's obviously not an option for you in Zone 6. Do you have any idea how warm it does stay under your house? If it is fairly well insulated you might be able to pull it through that way. I'd certainly advise wrapping it in bubble wrap or some type of insulating material to give it a little extra protection.

Of course, the best option would be to bring it indoors. I know what you mean about not having much space. I'm planning to give away a few of my more common house plants in order to be able to make room in the house this winter for my Siam Ruby, becarri, two heliconias, and few other newly potted bananas that I don't want to take the chance on. How big is your SDC? Couldn't you just cut it back and pot it up...even if you have to just keep one small pup in a 1 gallon pot inside at least then you have one you know you saved. Good luck!
