Many can keep their temps right around freezing inside the box plus a heat tape on the stem, seems viable. I plan do use the 2'x2' styrofoam box method on my palms one day once they are a little larger, and may try with a nanner one day also.

That's pretty brave considering the frost went 4 feet into the ground this winter up there. I don't know how that would work that far up north unless you had a in-ground heater as well to keep the soil around the corm & corm from becoming a victim to the elements that exist outside the box.
