Default Re: Ice Cream Zone 8 Planting

I am in 8b Georgia. I have an ice cream planted as well. From everything I have read, in the open it will not survive here without protection. The fruiting height is noted at around 12 feet give or take a foot. Mine is half grown now with still some growing time left.
Right now, I am putting together my thoughts on in ground protection. My goal is to get as near to fruiting a is practical going into next year. This my first year in bananas but I think I can get a leafless, in ground, Pseudostem through the winter using a tube of some sorts and a string of Christmas lights inside.
