Default bananas: growing and going


wrote in message
...
Hello,

I read that the roots of bananas need to be kept above 16C in winter.
Mine are in the greenhouse but although I have a fan heater, I use
that to keep it above freezing, not at a balmy 16C.

I have a couple of musa basjoo one aquired last year ,one this year.Last
years was left outside without protection and took quite a knockback This
year I have wrapped them up a bit-in east yorks........but there are many
types not so hardy.
