We're supposed to get frost this weekend and I plan on digging the bananas up. I'm just wondering how much damage the frost would do if I don't dig up until after the frost. I'm thinking it might just kill the leaves and really not damage the plants themselves- but not sure. How much damage would a 30ish degree frost do? Also would the cold actually HELP in inducing dormancy?
Thanks
