Dana,
You can take the larger leaves off if you wish. I had left a few in the greehouse all summer the roots had grown into the soil under the pavers. To move them around and re-arrange the plants, I had to rip or cut the errant roots. I really didn't do anything to most tops because I had to get everything thing in regardless and quickly. I watered them well and misted for a few days and all recovered. Some lost leaves which I picked up, but they lost nothing else. These guys are pretty resilient.
Thanks for the reply same here It has been so dry here I cut back on watering then the cold same quick I didn't have time to do it the way I would have liked. The ground was dry so you dig and most of the dirt fell away from the roots. I quickly potted and watered I am watering almost every day as propane heat drys them out fast. I give enough to moisten the soil not wet,wet The nice new green green growth really wilts bad hate to loose any of it. I cut down pink velvet last night put it up in laundry room in a bucket we had ice here a few others I did not get too are gonners and I have a few wrapped double frost cloth that were getting ready to flower are proably toast too hate this time of the year Becky your bananas are ready! lol
