Most of my container plants have been subjected to adverse conditions indoors and outdoors which the novice Gardner might not expierience.
Some by design and other by neglect....

I'm Zone 9A Gulf coast Mississippi - nana mats are all in-ground. A few years ago I winterized every year. Now, not so much. I decided that the effort outweighed the benefit. Usually the pstems on the north side of my mats suffer the most cold damage and seem to help protect others.
I visited the Univ of Ga experimental nana patch in Tifton Ga this year. There were numerous bunches hanging. The patch was planted orchard style with plants closely spaced. It appeared that the interior nanas were better protected .
