Anyone have any advice on caring for banana plants in winter, put mine in
the garage to protect from cold but looks a bit rough

The more warmth (or lack of frost) the better. I believe that if
they're wrapped well, they may be ok. Mine is in our unheated
greenhouse, wrapped in fleece. We only started it last year so this is
our first winter.

The only other thing you might consider is some gentle background
heat. I considered a paraffin greenhouse heater, but I think they
generate moisture and I was concerned that could lead to other
problems with condensation freezing, dampness & mould etc.

I guess we'll both know later on in Spring....
