I am in zone 9 and what you guys are saying it is better to leave your bananas on the ground all year round and not haul them in in your garage for the winter. Am I correct?
I am not successful having my bananas flowered yet because the winter wilt the banana leaves. I just ordered 7 different varieties and I will be starting to grow them. 3 feet high. And IHAVE ONE THAT I just planted which is about 7 foot high and has flowers in them but I just transplant it to the ground about 2 weeks ago when I bought it. I should have winterized it in my garage. Should I? Riight now it is wrapped in burlap leaves and all and protected with Christmas lights and floor heat.
My question is: If for some reason I get one to flower, should I dig it and winterized it in my garage?
