Once you cut them down heavily mulch them. Make sure the bananas and the area around them is well covered in mulch, I am assuming winters in Connecticut freeze deeper so I would make sure you have the Banana deep in mulch. All I do is about about 6 inches of mulch on mine but keep in mind that is here in Virginia on a zone 7a/7b climate. So I would just use a lot of mulch and maybe some hay / straw. Here is a good video of someone preparing Musa Bajool in a northern climate that may help. https://youtu.be/Frcx5Fc6JyE

Ask Logee's Greenhouses in CT - they have a patch that I believe stays outside in the ground. 

Quackin' Grass Nursery, also in CT, might also have a patch in the ground. 

I never paid attention to what they might do with them this time of year, though.
