Red Banana in Kansas

16 years ago

Hello everyone,

I have a 4' Red Dwarf Banana Tree that I just bought at the beginning of the summer. Throughout the summer it was sending out at least a leaf a week but the growth has slowed dramatically since then. It also has put out one pup which is moving at a slow pace as well. I do feed my tree frequently but I had a few questions about wintering it.

I have a sun room which is not apart of my central air and is somewhat effected by the outside temp. (Just for info)

Can I leave my red banana in the sun room without cutting it?

If I should cut it, how much should I leave and do I need to mulch if it's "inside" (the sun room)?

Can anyone show me a pic of what their cut banana tree looks like? The whole idea of cutting the trunk really scares me.

I would really appreciate the help you guys.

Thanks!
