How to over winter Ensete bananas in the UK
Two methods. Proper dry storing and potted, ticking over.
I've done this for almost 15 years now and is a great way to over winter these plants.

Great video as always. I've had ensete maurelii for 3 years. Followed your earlier videos re dry storing and they've done well. Mixture for me this year of dry storing and inside growing. Cheers for the invaluable advice👍

Hi Chris, very helpful video, I’ve got giant Taro, any ideas what to do with those ? Thanks Stefan

@YorkshireKRIS 3 года назад

which species specifically? Most are best completely dried off OR kept growing above 15c

@davidbanner9001 3 года назад

Hi Kris. Is it possible to over Winter Ensete in a garage that goes down to about "0" if completely dry and wrapped in fleece? I have heard that even dried Ensete need to be around 10 degrees even in dry storage?

@YorkshireKRIS 3 года назад

They can survive down to zero but not days at this temp and not when they are damp. Best to keep above 5c.

Can’t find part 2 to this 😭

@onestophoopshop8978 3 года назад

I have a small one in a pot in my unheated conservatory, I assume it will be too cold to overwinter in there? What is the lowest temp they will stand while ticking over in a pot?

@YorkshireKRIS 3 года назад

Unheated conservatory without any watering should be ok if it's a sunny one.

I have my Ensete in my heated conservatory atm. Like you say it might get infested or too big to stay in here-I then plan on dry storing it in garage. Does it matter how late I choose to commence dry store? Ie could I dry store it from December? Then bring it back into conservatory in March maybe? Thanks

@YorkshireKRIS 3 года назад

Yes that would certainly work.

@truth-hurts3089 3 года назад

@@YorkshireKRIS cool ill try that. thanks for your assistance Chris. You're a great inspiration. I have 3 kids age 3-16 so I know how hard you must work juggling family and a demanding garden. That said I bet kids love playing hide and seek etc .
