Frank,

I dug up a few pups last year for winter storage. Mostly the more cold sensative ones, like Cavendish. Some Goldfinger, and some D. Brazilian. Most were good sized pups like yours with 2 to 4 ft of pseudostem. I stored them in a large dark cabnet in my garage for the winter. By spring time I noticed some of them had mushy pseudostems but the corms were still full of life with new growth emerging from the sides. I cut off the dead pseudostem and planted the corms. The only thing I did different from your storage techniques was to bag the roots with a plastic bag. I poked holes in the bags for air to circulate. Would this make a difference? What temperature do you store yours at? I'm wondering if my N. CA garage stays cool enough? Do you have a % which don't make it through storage? Thanks and great work. Your dedication is commendable.
