I usually just cut mine off at about 2 feet high and cover with plastic surrounded by straw and covered with straw. Than i take a 55 gallon black trash bag and bungie cord around it through the winter . I uncover it all when last chance of frost pass. It get;s bigger every year, and spreads . I had about 4 extra trees this year. Mine is in the ground and next to my house it get's the morning sun and most of the daily sun. It's about 13 ft high this year , by the way i'm zone 7B. Great video banana wrestler !
Laughter.... the very best method for anything. I laughed all the way through this video! You make it so very interesting and attainable. Not that I'd EVER tackle a 12' banana plant... but for anything else... ;) And btw... I've never thrown away a towel either. Piles.. everywhere! I hope this works. It's a beautiful plant... and so very cool.
We have Mexican neighbors. They always want any leaves I take off our trees. They use them to wrap their homemade tamales in while cooking. They always bring me some, and they are INCREDIBLE!!!
I went through the same dilemma with my banana plant. It wasn’t as big as yours, but I dug it out with minimal roots, cut off the leaves and stuck it in a plastic garbage bag. No water during the winter. It worked out just fine. Got even bigger and better the following year.
Those leaves you unfurled were just gorgeous!! I've never grown a banana, and don't have any plans to do so, but this may be my favorite video you have ever done! Fabulous!!
I am laughing so hard right now I have tears running down my cheeks. 😂 You looked so tiny compared to that banana plant and the musical background was just perfect! Thank you for the best laugh I’ve had this month. Hugs, Jan
Erin, you called it, high jinx indeed-I was right there laughing with you as you woman handled that banana out of its pot. Well done! It was funny because if you’ve gardened for any length of time, then you’ve run into a similar situation, and you just have to laugh when you are in the middle of it. Thanks for sharing it all-the good, the bad and the bananas :)
I live in zone 4A and I have a banana plant I have not put it outside yet but next year it will go outside it is now four and a half feet tall and I watched a lady put one inside and outside for almost 7 years and it was so humongous and inside in the winter time I could see the last year that they were in that house before they moved that it did have bananas on it but I noticed she had other banana plants also. You are amazing entertaining and such great information I like how specific you were about showing each part and the way the leaves grow it's very very interesting especially for people that maybe have never seen how tropical plants grow. Thanks for making such great information so entertaining ✌️❤️🤣😆😂🌿Mandan,ND
Well, after this video I have officially declared you... INSANE! :) :) If I were doing this, there would have been "bleeps" throughout the video! Keep going Erin!!! :) :)
Thanks for this lesson because I've wondered how to overwinter a banana plant, and it's held me back from getting one. Also thanks for making it real- what we gardeners go through for our plants!
Last winter mine continued to grow with ZERO light and bare root in my workshop. It shot out about a 5 foot center leaf. Such impressive plants, I will always have on out in my Metro Detroit garden 🍌
Erin, that was definitely worth the wait. I laughed so hard and when you got to 6:12, that darn Banana looked just as big on the ground as it did sitting in the pot to me! That is a glorious specimen and one honkin’ big Banana plant! I hope it makes it through the Winter safely because wherever you plant it next year (hopefully), it will look fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing, and for the laughs. Much needed with the thought of impending hard freeze here in 6a early next week on my mind. Stay well.
You are one committed gardener doing all of this to keep the plant over the Winter. It was amazing to see how you got the plant out of the container. I never could have done that alone and I am much taller than you. I hope it survives in your basement. Ours is about that temp in the Winter and I keep unplanted tulip bulbs there and plant them in March and they do just fine in my garden. I am truly hoping that yours comes through happy and healthy! I did have to laugh when you were removing the plant and getting it to stand up. I think we all have had those moments and laughter is the way to get through them! Thanks so much for sharing this with us and also....I really like the wheel barrow you have. It's hard to find ones like that and when I do, I'm getting one!!
I love my banana plants. This is my second year in NC growing banana plants and pups are growing. In winter here I heavily mulch since I am in zone 8a. I never have bananas, but I bought for the beauty and reminds me of my childhood.
I can't imagine having to overwinter a banana cause it gets the size of a tree where I live. Kudos to you Erin!! BTW we use the leaves as a wrap for roasts etc when we smoke meat/veggies and it gives it an amazing flavour.
My first time growing a banana too! I was shocked at how much growth they put on in a single season! Was googling overwintering tips yesterday so this video is perfectly timed! Thanks Erin!
You are truly an amazing horticulturalist. I am 72 years old, I have been growing plants since I was a child, studied horticulture, have managed large greenhouse and nursery projects and find you are spot on with your methods and am watching your videos because you are teaching me some new tricks. Viewers, you are watching a world class plant person.
I cannot WAIT to try this plant in my landscape down here in Central Texas!! It should just LOVE the humidity. (Then, at least SOMEBODY at my house will love it!) I've got the perfect spot where the setting sun will shine thru those glorious leaves!!! Thank You Erin for writing the name of it in the description! For my "Gotta Have It File" I made a special compilation of your dated pics too!! So great!!! SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Respect Erin for your muscles! I got sore stiff just watching this and I might have giggled a bit when you wrestled that banana out of the pot. You are hilarious. 🤓
Thanks for the book recommendation. I have a collection of plants I love- including a 43 year old schefflera. I ordered it. And thanks for the entertainment of watching you not ask for help. Reminded me of me. I planted a banana found in a pot when we bought a house. I planted it next to the koi pond. I had to take it out because it got way too big. Love that you're planning on bringing it back.
What a gorgeous plant! I grew a banana tree this year and it is huge, too! I’ve been wondering what I should do now. I think mine may be able to make it through the winter. It has a couple of pups, so I thought I may pot those up and bring them in. And if the big one dies, at least I’ll have the other ones. Thank you for this timely video!
Thank you for this! I will try your method this year. Last year I chopped the tops off and stored them lying down in a cardboard box.They survived, but partway though winter one of them started sending out leaves right through the side of the box and they grew very crooked indeed in the spring, though they did straighten themselves out eventually. Lesson learned, will definitely be storing upright this year.
Erin, I have been watching for about a year now and thoroughly enjoy each one! Honestly, this was priceless, I laughed all the way through the extraction of the banana and the size analysis of you and your opponent! Love your “can do” attitude, you are an inspiration for this antique gardener!!❤Gail
Omg I'm googling red red abyssinian banana plant and I only find red abyssinian banana plant. I need these in my life!!! Oh Erin every time I watch I Google a plant to see if it hardy in my zone because I favor perennials, but this one is so amazing!!!! Most of my orders are due to your plantings! What a center piece for any location, and now you taught us how to overwinter! Your gems of knowledge are so appreciated! ❤
This was me...two years in a row, but digging out of the ground and hoping neighbours were not witness to the whole comical display. Smile. Zone b too and same, too big to bring inside (plus high risk of spider mites for sure!). Some tears were shed to send to plant heaven. This year, literally in one week, I will be digging up this year's specimen and try to over winter for first time. Fingers crossed. You made this video and I giggled most of the time. Thank you. No pretentious gardening video here
Oh wow that is huge! I never in a million years thought to grow one but now Im intrigued. You crack me up Erin. I love your down to earth sense of humor and personality! 🧡❤️💜💙💚
This plant is amazing. I'm going to look for one in my area in the spring. I'm hoping I can plant it in the ground in my zone 8 garden. Thanks for sharing.
I grew this same banana in Zone 7 (Arkansas) for several years. I was always amazed at the shallow root system. My plants never grew this big! I really enjoyed this video. I love times when plants surprise me.
What an entertaining video about wintering over a beloved plant. The size of this banana plant was ginormous and a big "wrestle" for such a petite lady. I will be eagerly waiting to see how this beautiful specimen comes to life in the spring. Congratulations on being brave?
5'2" person here! You had me cracking up! Not a day goes by that I'm not in WAYYY over my head here at home - both in the garden and in my horse barn." Ya just gotta get it done!" Can't wait to see how this saga turns out come spring time.
Banana plants have become so popular, my daughter has one and she storing it at her boyfriends house. I’m going to be sharing a few photos of your tree,so she can see your process for overwintering. Thanks for sharing and look forward to the outcome of your banana tree. 👍❤️😊
So happy you are giving it a go. My son stayed at a BnB in Wisconsin, that had a huge banana plant, and they do what you are doing every winter. We have a small banana plant, given as a gift,and in a smaller pot it didn't grow like yours. We just take it in and put in a bright corner in winter. I will have to figure next year if I should pot it up or not!
So so funny yet such a happy gardener .. I live in Pensacola fl where they grow in ground and tips may freeze abit but come back... I wonder why you did not chop off another foot of top growth?? I’m sure you know the deal.. my 15-20’ purple cana’s are about to be sawed to ground level then I plan to dig up the very large bulbs and divide and replace to other areas of yard we are in bad drought so the leaves are brown crispy ugly.. love this video however not a big fan of the banana plants probably because they are all over here..😆 I would just like to grow weigella and will plant soon and hoping they will survive here and hope we get enough of a winter chill for them lol... GOOD LUCK ERIN!!!😀👍👏👏
I don't know if it's been suggested, but you could borrow or rent a car engine hoist if you want to try and drain the water when you bring it in later this year.
OMG! How Beautiful! I just picked up my first banana tree from a local nursery. I’m soooo excited! I would have had a hard time cutting it like you did! Good job!
😂 you crack me up!! 😂 watching you get that thing out of that pot was priceless!! Good luck, I hope it survives and we can see it go out in the garden next spring. Thanks so much for sharing this video it was great 👍
This was fascinating! I can't wait to see how it does (and what you do with it next year). I love seeing you geek out over a very (very) cool plant, because I totally would too!
This is amazing I so impressed this plant and just the fact that your gonna give it a shot at overwintering in your basement👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️hope we get to see the end results next year👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️🥂🥂🥂
Erin while you were wrestling with this ginormous banana I heard it laughing at you and going nananer nananer nananer....lol...that is the most fabulous banana plant I have ever seen. I wonder how big it would get here in 7b. We can leave ours in the ground so I can only imagine how super ginormous it would get here. God bless and give your self a pat on the back getting that booger out of the pot by yourself.
Thank goodness I live in South Carolina and my Banana Trees stay in the ground and they multiply like crazy. They live for several years and then bare small fruit and die , but always new ones coming up.
This was so hilarious, I rewound and watched the banana plant wrestling several times! Sorry, not sorry!!🤣🤣🤣 That plant is amazing and fabulous. Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely loved this, it is one the most fun gardening videos I've watched! That is an amazing plant to be proud of and even more-so for getting it out of that planter! Seeing it in the Spring will be so fun. I grew Ginger this year for the first time because of you and it has been fun. I'm still holding out on harvesting even though it's getring chilly. I have it in a little pop up greenhouse.
I kept waiting for it to start singing "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space." 😄
Okayyyyyy. How many people found themselves clapping when she removed the banana plant by herself? Great job!
Not me
I usually just cut mine off at about 2 feet high and cover with plastic surrounded by straw and covered with straw. Than i take a 55 gallon black trash bag and bungie cord around it through the winter . I uncover it all when last chance of frost pass. It get;s bigger every year, and spreads . I had about 4 extra trees this year. Mine is in the ground and next to my house it get's the morning sun and most of the daily sun. It's about 13 ft high this year , by the way i'm zone 7B. Great video banana wrestler !
I'm 7b too! I picked what I think is a dwarf cavendish off of a person who's plant made pups and put it in the ground a few days ago.
hi , but it will not be a ensete maurelli , because they don't "spread".
Laughter.... the very best method for anything. I laughed all the way through this video! You make it so very interesting and attainable.

Ok going to try your method this year ,we lost ours from last year my husband did try one drying it out upside down
O wow! Enjoyed this soooo much! I howled! Little you hoisting that thing. What a caper!
I had a rotten day until I watched you wrestle a banana tree!! Thank you so much for the laughter!! I watched the video twice!
You are unique. Nobody else is doing videos like yours.
Those leaves you unfurled were just gorgeous!! I've never grown a banana, and don't have any plans to do so, but this may be my favorite video you have ever done! Fabulous!!
I am laughing so hard right now I have tears running down my cheeks. 😂 You looked so tiny compared to that banana plant and the musical background was just perfect! Thank you for the best laugh I’ve had this month. Hugs, Jan
Erin, you are a hoot! You made this so enjoyable to watch. Laughed along with you.
Good luck , can’t wait to see
the results next year.😂

OMG! Your poor back. WOW! What a beautiful plant! 🤞 next year just as pretty.
Thanks for this lesson because I've wondered how to overwinter a banana plant, and it's held me back from getting one. Also thanks for making it real- what we gardeners go through for our plants!
This is not a banana plant tho its the banana palm totally different
That was hysterical ! Truly entertaining. You’re the best Erin.
This made my day…hilarious! I hope this bad boy makes it through the winter because I can’t wait to follow the saga of this plant!!😂👍
Last winter mine continued to grow with ZERO light and bare root in my workshop. It shot out about a 5 foot center leaf. Such impressive plants, I will always have on out in my Metro Detroit garden 🍌
Did you water it?
Erin, that was definitely worth the wait. I laughed so hard and when you got to 6:12, that darn Banana looked just as big on the ground as it did sitting in the pot to me!

Erin. You're my kind of people. I would have done it the exact same way, bread knife included.
I always use my bread knife, too!
The music!!!!!! lol Brilliant thanks so much for sharing

Oh wow!!! This is a cliffhanger if there ever was one in the gardening world. Can’t wait to see if this experiment is successful. So cool!!
You are truly an amazing horticulturalist.

Oh my goodness!😳😳 I’m only a few minutes in and I’m think a cement casting of one of those leaves would make an amazing planter or water trough. 😍
That thing is insane! I really hope you can bring it back for an encore next year! I will be patiently waiting for spring now.
I cannot WAIT to try this plant in my landscape down here in Central Texas!!
It should just LOVE the humidity.
(Then, at least SOMEBODY at my house will love it!)
I've got the perfect spot where the setting sun will shine thru those glorious leaves!!!
Thank You Erin for writing the name of it in the description!
For my "Gotta Have It File"
I made a special compilation of your dated pics too!!
So great!!!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Oh, and that thumbnail is priceless!!
Respect Erin for your muscles! I got sore stiff just watching this and I might have giggled a bit when you wrestled that banana out of the pot. You are hilarious. 🤓
This was so much fun. I always have to get my pic 📸 with my tallest plants a biggest leaves.
She was a gorgeous plant Erin, good luck storing her ! 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃
Thanks for the book recommendation. I have a collection of plants I love- including a 43 year old schefflera. I ordered it. And thanks for the entertainment of watching you not ask for help.

Love that you're planning on bringing it back.
I’m so impressed you got this out by yourself!
What a rock star you are! I'm so amazed you could wrangle that banana plant all by yourself. Woo Hoo!
What a gorgeous plant! I grew a banana tree this year and it is huge, too! I’ve been wondering what I should do now. I think mine may be able to make it through the winter. It has a couple of pups, so I thought I may pot those up and bring them in. And if the big one dies, at least I’ll have the other ones. Thank you for this timely video!
Bananas make great house plants before they get too big
What a magnificent plant!
Woman vs Banana Plant! And woman wins! You are amazing! 😊
This is a documentary and I love it🥰 Thanks for sharing.
I have grown a banana and over wintered for 3 years. You can cut down at base and it will reshoot 👍🌺
I'm so glad that you found a way to keep that lovely banana plant. Looking forward to spring already. 🍁🙄
Thank you for this! I will try your method this year. Last year I chopped the tops off and stored them lying down in a cardboard box.They survived, but partway though winter one of them started sending out leaves right through the side of the box and they grew very crooked indeed in the spring, though they did straighten themselves out eventually. Lesson learned, will definitely be storing upright this year.
All I can say is wow. The photos didn’t do it justice until you pulled it out of the pot. Im curious to see how large it grows next year!
That's amazing. Words escape me. Just, that's one happy banana plant!
Erin, that banana!!!! Amazing, impressive and funny video! Have a great weekend everybody!
Wow...If I ever get lost in a jungle, I'll know where to find my water.🤣
How Amazing! Such an Awesome Banana tree! 🍌 🌴
Thank you for sharing this experience!
Erin, I have been watching for about a year now and thoroughly enjoy each one! Honestly, this was priceless, I laughed all the way through the extraction of the banana and the size analysis of you and your opponent! Love your “can do” attitude, you are an inspiration for this antique gardener!!❤Gail
Thanks, Gail!
Really glad I took time to watch you....I had some good laughs and learnt something interesting...Thank you...
Thank you for the comic relief!… That is inspiring as it is funny!… Might have to give this a try!
Enjoyed you taking this banana down. I’ve Ben growing this same banana for 3-4 years and just love them so beautiful and majestic
Omgee thanks for the awesome laugh!! This video was too funny :) wishing your banana a happy sleep!
Omg I'm googling red red abyssinian banana plant and I only find red abyssinian banana plant. I need these in my life!!!

That plant is amazing! Oh my gosh! I hope we see it next summer full again! Good luck!

What fun! I loved seeing the new leaves unfurled and look forward to spring for the banana!
And I thought my patio canas were big. 😂 So cool!! The unfurling was neat.
Oh wow that is huge! I never in a million years thought to grow one but now Im intrigued. You crack me up Erin. I love your down to earth sense of humor and personality! 🧡❤️💜💙💚
That thing is beyond amazing, just gorgeous. That huge leaf reminded me of the surf board, can't imagine what it'll grow to next yr.
This is one of the coolest overwinter videos ever! I'm getting a banana plant next year for sure!
Oh my goodness I can't imagine how big it's going to get next year!!! It's truly spectacular.
a Showstopper for sure! 🤞🏻for overwintering
I always wondered what my neighbor thought while looking out the window while I was struggling in the garden…now I know. LOL
This plant is amazing. I'm going to look for one in my area in the spring. I'm hoping I can plant it in the ground in my zone 8 garden.
Thanks for sharing.
I grew this same banana in Zone 7 (Arkansas) for several years. I was always amazed at the shallow root system. My plants never grew this big! I really enjoyed this video. I love times when plants surprise me.
How did you overwinter yours?
🎶 Day Oh, Day Oh, day light come and where does this plant go?
Wow! That is impressive. I will be super interested in how this ends up wintering over.
OMGOSH! I was crying laughing! You go, girl! 🤣🤪🥰
What an entertaining video about wintering over a beloved plant. The size of this banana plant was ginormous and a big "wrestle" for such a petite lady. I will be eagerly waiting to see how this beautiful specimen comes to life in the spring. Congratulations on being brave?
What a happy plant!!!!!!!!
Super cool video!
Those leaves are beautiful as well as humongous!!
5'2" person here! You had me cracking up! Not a day goes by that I'm not in WAYYY over my head here at home - both in the garden and in my horse barn." Ya just gotta get it done!" Can't wait to see how this saga turns out come spring time.
Banana plants have become so popular, my daughter has one and she storing it at her boyfriends house. I’m going to be sharing a few photos of your tree,so she can see your process for overwintering. Thanks for sharing and look forward to the outcome of your banana tree. 👍❤️😊
So happy you are giving it a go. My son stayed at a BnB in Wisconsin, that had a huge banana plant, and they do what you are doing every winter. We have a small banana plant, given as a gift,and in a smaller pot it didn't grow like yours. We just take it in and put in a bright corner in winter. I will have to figure next year if I should pot it up or not!
Erin and her banana 😂 love your videos ❤
The leaf looks as big as a surfboard! Amazing
Ahhh, adventures in gardening! What a great way to start my day - cheering you on and laughing all the way! Well done, Erin!
I felt every cut!!! lol. I'm sure it broke your heart but hopefully it will winter over and be even bigger next year!!
So so funny yet such a happy gardener .. I live in Pensacola fl where they grow in ground and tips may freeze abit but come back... I wonder why you did not chop off another foot of top growth?? I’m sure you know the deal.. my 15-20’ purple cana’s are about to be sawed to ground level then I plan to dig up the very large bulbs and divide and replace to other areas of yard we are in bad drought so the leaves are brown crispy ugly.. love this video however not a big fan of the banana plants probably because they are all over here..😆 I would just like to grow weigella and will plant soon and hoping they will survive here and hope we get enough of a winter chill for them lol... GOOD LUCK ERIN!!!😀👍👏👏
So interesting!! Just ordered that book. Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve found that recently I have more & more tropical indoor plants!
I don't know if it's been suggested, but you could borrow or rent a car engine hoist if you want to try and drain the water when you bring it in later this year.
Great video! Beautiful banana tree...Thanks for sharing! - Michelle
Great job! I think it will overwinter well in your basement area. A red Abyssinian banana is the top of my plant wish list for the garden next year!
OMG! How Beautiful! I just picked up my first banana tree from a local nursery. I’m soooo excited! I would have had a hard time cutting it like you did! Good job!
😂 you crack me up!! 😂 watching you get that thing out of that pot was priceless!! Good luck, I hope it survives and we can see it go out in the garden next spring. Thanks so much for sharing this video it was great 👍
Thank you for answering my question about over wintering the banana. I really want one!
Great video, love watching you and I will purchase the book about tropical plants and how you love them. Thank you for the info.
This was fascinating! I can't wait to see how it does (and what you do with it next year). I love seeing you geek out over a very (very) cool plant, because I totally would too!
That was so very entertaining, but also informative! Thank you for sharing with us your duel with the banana.
This is amazing I so impressed this plant and just the fact that your gonna give it a shot at overwintering in your basement👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️hope we get to see the end results next year👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️🥂🥂🥂
I can’t wait to see how it does. Wow!
Erin while you were wrestling with this ginormous banana I heard it laughing at you and going nananer nananer nananer....lol...that is the most fabulous banana plant I have ever seen. I wonder how big it would get here in 7b. We can leave ours in the ground so I can only imagine how super ginormous it would get here. God bless and give your self a pat on the back getting that booger out of the pot by yourself.
Thank goodness I live in South Carolina and my Banana Trees stay in the ground and they multiply like crazy. They live for several years and then bare small fruit and die , but always new ones coming up.
This was so hilarious, I rewound and watched the banana plant wrestling several times! Sorry, not sorry!!🤣🤣🤣 That plant is amazing and fabulous. Thanks for sharing!
OMG - that plant was absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing it’s journey in your garden.
By coincidence I am reading that book right now, it is amazing
I absolutely loved this, it is one the most fun gardening videos I've watched! That is an amazing plant to be proud of and even more-so for getting it out of that planter! Seeing it in the Spring will be so fun. I grew Ginger this year for the first time because of you and it has been fun. I'm still holding out on harvesting even though it's getring chilly. I have it in a little pop up greenhouse.
One of my favorite videos ever 😂😂😂
