Default Cut my nanners back too soon!

So I had some frost damage to my Musas. I knew they weren't dead, but I didn't see a point in keeping them going any further into the season so I cut them back. I place wire around a couple of them and packed with cherry chainsaw slash as an insulator. The rest, I just dumped the slash over.

The very next day, I had an inch of new growth coming out of the p-stems. Should I just have waited until they died back or am I on the right track here? If the latter is correct, what do I do about the new growth, wait until it really dies back and then pack more slash on top and cover?
