Default Re: Winterizing Advice

Wow you have a lot!
Sorry but I don't know much about this at all as this is going to be my first winter with banana plants.
I'd say check on the temperature indoors, don't water much and let it be dormant.
This way when the new season comes it'll be strong and vigorous.
If you force it to grow all winter it will use up so much energy and not have time to "rest". It will still grow well in the warmer weather, but will take longer and fruit may be smaller.

This is what i've read. About how to wrap them up if you need to I'm not sure at all.

I don't plan to wrap mine at all. I will just make sure that the roots don't freeze. Leaves can always regrow.
