Well... I dont have any of it. Like millions I live in apartment and like thousands I do have a small backyard. Any ideas what to do with bananas over winter? Rent a cellar or storage? Does it worth it? Make some kind of underground/above ground winter shelter?
Winters are getting really harsh in New York.
Thanks,

You might have to try storing just the corms or the bulb of the banana. If leaving them outside is too risky or not an option this can be a solution storing the corms will take up a lot less space (softball to grapefruit size) keeping them in a dry cool area with some periodic ventilation will keep the corms from rotting. You may have to start growth from scratch but 2nd year plants regrow much faster even from square one.
