It's been a few weeks and I moved it into the living room and so far two more pups pushed through but main part seems done.
Looking at the bright side, Looks like once I divide the pups I have 5 more plants.

It looks like that we will have many days of above freezing at night here and I feel tempted to uncover some of the bananas that I left in the ground. Maybe one day of close temps but I figured that I just cover it if needed for the night.

I'm ready for some nanas to go banana
I am from NJ and will wait until end of April to pot mine. I have 7 Thai Black stored and wrapped in my basement. Last spring I had to cut back several times to stop rot that kept appearing. I potted them and all came back and went into the garden mid May. Perseverance is the key.
