Do you over winter your bananas outside in zone 8? Does the stem die down in winter?

Thanks Chris! I'm not sure how these goldfingers are going to do, it's my first time with these. There are about 7 species back here, but this is the only one producing. Hopefully they'll get big enough to enjoy edibly. I'll keep you posted on the progress. Normally I level and mulch and they come back.
