It's a hardy Banana, Pedricks.
HUMMER...thanks for sharing your method with the fencing. Excellent care for your babies!

So far we have only had a few frosts here and nothing major. Sure would be nice if we go through this Winter with only minor freezing!!! But just in case I'm getting prepared.
1) I have several bags of Oak leaves. (i have access to loads of them)...LOL
2) I have made several round cages of this material to place over the plants if we get hard freezing. (photo below is the material and one of my compost bins)
3) If you have a real Christmas tree at Xmas cut off the limbs to lay over the plants with leaves. This works also in our area.
