Frozen Ice Cream
I have two "ice Cream" bananas that WERE about four feet tall.
Each one is in a 1/2 barrel (55 gal) container. I live in the Sacramento Valley, and we had a hard freeze last night, and are expected to have three more nights of sub 30'. I watered the soil and covered with blankets. The leaves are now straight down and brown. These are supposed to be cold hardy, I was told. Is the pseudostem dead? What more could I have done? Thank You |

Re: Frozen Ice Cream
If the pseudostem is still firm and green or yellow then it should be alive.

Re: Frozen Ice Cream
Hi Joe,
please see my detailed reply here: Winter mulch: Good idea or bad idea? In your case I would just monitor the weather forecast and in case frost is expected , toss either an old quilt or some frost cloth over the plants. Important: keep them uncovered, when no frost threatens But read my other post as well as the one referenced therein. Good luck, Olaf
