What else do you do besides remove the foliage? You don't leave it outside do you?

Nope. I dig them up and put them in my basement.
Today is going to be a loooong day.

tngreen: btw, those pots I got do all appear to be nursery pots, but some are quite nice/high quality. I'll be bringing about half of them to the swap.

Great! I'll be out by the end of the day.

lol...that's what it looks like. =)

Where is it that you live greenthumb.Im in Lewisburg and I leave mine outside all winter.Also I see you have a daughter thhat lives in Lewisburg.

I live in Lewisburg as well. I tried leaving them in the ground one year and they bit the dust. I do leave my banana trees in the ground with much success. Go figure.

Joe, I tried the plant them in buckets and submerge the bucket in the ground thing. I needed a freakin backhoe to dig them out again. The roots blasted right through the bottom. lol

I brought mine in yesterday as well. I usually keep them in the garage, no basement here. Though I have one that I spent way too much $$ for that will be living in my daughters room for the winter......good thing she is away at school!!!
