This spring I planted 3 banana plants that are supposed to survive Indiana winters. I plan on cutting the the tree back to the stalk and leave a stalk 3' to 4' tall. I'll wrap the stalk with burlap then circle the wraped stalks with fence and fill the fences with straw amd leaves. Is it OK to cut back the plants now? We have had a mild frost. I have heard you should wait until more of the leaves die off naturally rather then cut them back.
