How to protect the banana plant Musa Basjoo for winter. Also known as the Green Banana. This plant is relatively hardy and can be left outdoors and in the ground in the UK with the appropriate protection. I am removing most of the leaves, and wrapping the trunk in some insulation then adding a further layer of weed control membrane. You could also use horticultural fleece, anything breathable to prevent condensation.

The 'trunk' of the banana plant is actually not a trunk at all, it is made up of leaf stems. The banana is herb, it is herbaceous. I am hoping to preserve my leaf stems so that I have extra height next year.
I have heard of people bringing these plants indoors, especially when in pots, but as mine are in the ground I am leaving them in situ but protecting them
