Honestly, if you have space to bring it indoors and keep it growing (in a sunny location) I would TOTALLY DO SO! Just leave all the leaves on it and dig up the corm/pot it. Water it when it gets dry and keep it in the sun as much as possible. It's very possible to keep bananas growing year round in colder climates (I've done so in zone 5 for years) when kept in a warm/sunny window all winter. If you have the space, I wouldn't risk the 'overwintering dormancy' issues if you can just keep it growing indoors! Plus naners are an excellent addition to any room's vibe!
