Bigdog, thank you for the detailed information. I live in central jersey and though I have had the banana plant for many years, I had kept them indoors until this year when it suddenly started to grow tall and hot my ceiling. I moved it outside and suddenly it started to grow like crazy; I still have it in a container but plan to plant it in the ground next April.

I am debating of I should cut the leaves and a part of the stem and bring it back indoors or uproot it and keep it in a dark place. does it matter?

Thanks again to everyone; this is such a great site for information.
I can now see why we are all addicted to the banana plants.
