Less hardy bananas were dug up and kept indoors :)
Comments on this photo
I found a blog by someone with a garden full of exotics such as these - I'll try to dig it back out for you.

TT & Meanie: thank you!!! They don't look big in the photo but the trunk of the red bananas were enormous (at least to my eyes) and they were surprisingly heavy (they consist of mainly water, after all).
Good to see them safe indoors :-)
