Default Re: What Is The Best Way To Protect A Musa Basjoo For Winter????

5/15 seems very late for a last frost date if you are in zone 6/7. In st Louis the avg last frost is 4/15 but I always uncover my bananas a couple weeks before that. you might try freeze pruf, it will add about 3 to 4 degrees of cold tolerance to most bananas, that way you can uncover earlier in the spring. I plan on doing the same. I used freeze pruf this fall and my bananas lasted until 11/27.
