Hi Rebel,

I acquired ab E. Maurellii this spring and plan on wintering it outdoors in HZ6.

For protection I intent to use my newly devised Permanent banana shelter for winter and spring

Have a look there, you might find it interesting. Three shelters, two for single PS and one to
accommodate a whole pad cost a total of less than $60.-.

For the E. Maurellii I plan to augment that with a passive "heating system", tapping into the
ambient temperature of the lower soil strata. So far it is just an idea. I will get at it after I
finished a couple of current projects, probably next month. I can assure you, that it will also
be very cheap.

Best,
Olaf
