Unless the ground is heated, leaving a banana corm in the ground in central Wisconsin is certain death, unless it's a Basjoo or other very cold hardy specimen. Even then you'll need to keep the frost out of the soil. I have seen the ground frozen to over a foot deep in Illinois which is several hundred miles south of Timmko.
