Default Re: Best bananas to dig each winter in the north

That was the first year I overwintered a banana plant and wanted to do all I could to get it to come back next year. Might have over-did it, but didn't know what I was doing......put plastic fence around it as I didn't want the straw to blow away.. I figured if I was going to put 3 bales of straw over them, might as well do 6 or 7. Tarp was to keep it dry. Even Mother came back but lost her due to taking all the insulation off too early. Our weather/temps can be quite 'iffy' in the Spring, 70* one day and below freezing the next. Mother didn't like it at freezing.
