Plant back out in the spring or when you not going to have any more freezes.. Frost cloth protects the leaves.. but be aware they can be a hell of a plant to be toting.. I just planted a monster i had to relocate I bet it weighed in at close to 275 lbs. I shoulda cut the top off.. before I moved it but the thing you see in retro-vision.. lol I did save 4 ft of stalk. I had a friend bring in his back hoe to dig the hole..

Can those bananas grow in cool weather, or just survive cold weather?
The pnw has very cool summers so plants that need hot weather don't always do very well. I'm also a bit more interested in breeding bananas then growing them to eat, so unless it produces seeds I probably won't.
Can those produce seeds? I know most eating ones can't, but i've also heard a few can produce seeds if provided pollen, just not that many and they’re difficult to germinate
