Covering Musa Basjoo Banana For Winter and What It Looks Like in Spring

Even though I had read of how cold hardy Musa basjoo Banana Trees were, I still had my doubts, since I know how cold it can get in our zone 6b location. We even had a fairly cold winter this year for our area, so it got a good test. In November, after a couple of freezes, the banana tree was looking pretty rough. When the weather forecast called for some nighttime temperatures in the 20s F., I decided it was time to cover the banana tree for the winter. In this video, I show exactly how I covered our banana tree, then I show exactly what it looked like when I uncovered it in April. I also show how it was greening up and growing on May 6th.
