Overwintering Potted Banana Trees in Kansas Basement

Tom's 10–12 ft banana trees in pots need basement storage. Asks about cutting back and separating new pups.

Plan

• Must cut back to fit in basement – leave only trunk (pseudostem).
• Don't separate pups from mother plants until spring.
• Reference: How to Care for Banana Trees for detailed indoor growing guide.

Spring is the time for division and renewed growth.
