Default Re: Ice cream bananna

I hope others will offer suggestions. I’d hate for you to lose your plants and banana blossom. My Brazilian just goes dormant with the inflorescence or bananas on them if they don’t ripen by fall (which happens frequently where I am located - but I am on the coast in San Diego proper which is much different from your weather). It sometimes takes an entire year for my bananas to ripen, LOL! But they get there eventually. And my Brazilians are up against a cinder block wall and receive full southern sun exposure. I personally would build a good shelter over it (if no one chimes in with suggestions) and mulch, mulch mulch to give it as much protection as possible. I’ve been growing my Brazilians for 10 years in the same spot but I am not a very experienced banana grower so I would be apprehensive about digging yours up and moving. Keep us posted on what approach you decide on.
