Re: Winter hardy banana plant???
Hopefully it will make it with a good mulch. I use about a foot of hay around and over my p-stems, which are cut at about 12". My basjoos made it; my t. fortunei palms made it; hell even my L. chinensis palm made it (and it's zone 9 minimum). But my velutina didn't. Go figure.
