I have been raising Bananas in NC for several years and it seems the most common type that I have seen is the non hardy type in Piedmont. But my advice would dig up a couple small ones and put in pots if you would like to save them and leave the big one out side to test it hardy ness. I live in a small town of Troutman, near Lake Norman and the one that I have will freeze and die, I have tried cutting down and mulching, cutting them in half and wrapping in bubble wrap ,building a wire cage and filling with leaves, and other assorted ideas I have gotten from other bananas growers but nothing work except last year one survived planted in the center of a hallow tree stump and im guessing the composting action of the rotting stump kept it warm enough.
I did them up and divide the baby's putting a few in pots the really big ones (8 or 10 ft) I just knock off the dirt and wrap in newspaper and tape it in place and put it in small trash bags and tape them in place or tie them, put a couple in the gazebo a few in the attic any place that will not freeze, I have a friend that doesn't even wrap his but just throws his under his house and drags it out in the spring.
Tonight i was told that it would be about 30degrees so i went out and cut remaining bunch of bananas that I had outside. We had a long growing season this year
