i have read all of these pages a few times and my head is spinning. i have 2 different bannanas and a red abysinnian i need to get ready for winter. some of the banana i left in the ground and mulched over after frost. one made it, on didnt. i have 3 others now to deal with. i have others which have stayed small in pots that are reddish i usually keep them as house plants for the winter. i have to many plants to try to keep as house plants now so im thinking i need to store them in my basement for winter. im mostly concerned with the red abysinnian. do have to remove the leaves? this winter my 1 year old is just a little too active to have these plants all over the house. so i guess im looking to stick everything in the basement. i have a lot of non banana plants/trees to deal with also. small lemon tree, a few of those twisted up hibiscus trees, oleadner, 2 plumeria, and a bunch of bird of paradise. some of them are cheap but it all adds up and id like to save all that i can.
