Stratification is to expose the seeds to low temperatures. Usually, this is done by putting the seeds in moist sand in the refrigerator (which has about 40°F) for some weeks. On Musella lasiocarpa this should be done in 4-6 weeks.
I haven't yet had any winters with bananas, just about trying to germinate them now. But next year I think I will use the under-the-house method on the bananas not cold hardy at all, and make a netting cage around the ones that are a little cold hardy, and fill up with hay or dried leafs or whatever I can get.
