| I planted a banana tree early spring it is just now showing it has rooted I have 6 leaves that have grown in since March 4 in the last month. I want to know how to care for my Banana Tree so that I won't loose it come winter or first frost. Can you give me some tips or ideas? Thanks for your help and time, Sandy G. TX |
| Sandy, Your area is too far north for bananas to survive unprotected. I would either dig and pot it up for overwintering in a semi protected spot such as a garage, or mulch the base with a couple of feet of leaves in a wire ring or a foot of compost piled at the base. This way when the top dies back at the first freeze the base will survive to resprout the following spring. |
