Too tall to cover, could a windbreak help a little
This is my first winter with bananas, I will probably have 10-15 nights of threatening cold. My Ice Cream is 10ft with a little nice weather yet to go so it is too tall to cover. I have some very large pieces of greenhouse plastic and was thinking about making a 9ft windbreak around it with some 4x4's for support. I have water barrels and many strings of big Christmas lights for heat, and fans to circulate air. It doesnt usually get much below 30F for a few hours and some winters we dont freeze, but that hasnt happened in a long time. Our cold nights are usually windless. Digging them up is not an option (7 bulging discs). I struggle enough just getting them in the first time when they are small. Does anyone think I have a chance against 28 degrees for a couple of hours.
Thanks for the help
Larry
