I just unwrapped my bananas here in Dallas, TX, and took away the frost cloth. It is spring like conditions and I am afraid it would hurt if they were wrapped any longer.
After I did that I saw that to varying degree they have some mushy tissue, kind of rot but not quite.
I cut away some of it but some plants like the Saba it looks kind of dead but feels really firm so I left most in place. I have an example of how much I trimmed my Icecream. The p-stems in the garage are still waiting to get planted and if I see something mushy I cut it off directly so they are all in good shape.
Question is the once outside that have started growing again, how much should I trim them?

Is this enough? See link.

Thanks
