I'm sure I messed up
I mentioned in my "hello" thread that I have a Dwarf Cavendish purchased on Mother's Day and planted about 2 weeks later in the ground; I bought her at Lowes in 1 gallon pot so you probably know how big she was. She's now about 4' tall and popping out 3'+ long leaves in just under a week. I've fertilized with knock off Miracle Gro once; where she landed is not typical FL sandy soil but appears to be where years of oak leaves composted. (She's in low spot so I haven't had to water either.) She's against a fence facing south (enclosed area) and there are trees behind her.
Yes, I now know that this is probably not the right variety for zone 9. I have no way to dig her up and bring her inside this winter; I can't get my hand around her "base" (forgive the newbie lingo).
My questions: (Yes, I've searched.)
Do I drape her with sheets if frost is expected (Yankee gardener here) or do I just wait and cut back what's dead next spring?
How cold hardy is she?
Is only 1 pup normal?
