Here in the Colorado Rockies I have a grapefruit tree in a container that I have had since I lived in FL. I have to bring it indoors in winter. Need to start tomatoes inside in containers soon. It is only about 90 days average between freezes here.

Good thing you can whack the trunk of those bananas off near the ground and they will come back. I miss the banana trees I had in Houston. They would freeze every few years too.

Just copice them. They'll grow back.

I covered my banana's with a cheap plastic drop cloth and placed a 40 watt drop light under them for warmth. Most of the leaves are still green and the major part of the plant was unaffected by the freezing temps.
