Honestly Mike, I dug up about 3 bananas, covered only my Butias capitatas, and a couple borderline plants, I cut to ground level, layer of plastic to help keep some of the moisture out and then about 6-8" of mulch. That is all. With this being said, I do bring in all the potted plants and place them in unheated garage (large potted palms), place them thoughout the house, and a few at my good friend's greenhouse.
With quite a few of my hardy palms still small, it looks pretty bleak in the winter! Once they get some size to them, that should give me much more greenery in the off season...
