I have two sikkimensis in Denver that I grow in pots. They get moved into a warehouse over the winter, get watered just once or twice, and look like they're on death's doorstep when they move out the following spring, but regenerate as soon as they get some heat. They survive the winter with virtually no light. You might want to try digging and potting them, keeping them relatively dry. Good luck.

I'm pondering the exact same thing as I have 10 different species of bananas in Zone 7a - all ranging from a 1ft Super Dwarf Cavendish to a 15ft monster - I think I'll give the Warehouse (storage) option a shot.. Although I don't really have a cool (40-50f) place to store them, they'll have to stay at room temperature (68-72f). My biggest dilemma is do I give them supplemental light or just keep them as dark as possible?
