Should I even bother trying to protect the leaves of a giant bird of paradise, covering even with an ez up canopy, or is it useless to try and just focus on protecting the lower/roots?

I have some large ones in my landscape, its basically useless. the leaves will be brown and be dead by late February. it will be an eye sore. but then I take a hand limb saw and cut down a few inches from the ground. they come back every year. this is like year 7-8 doing this. they even making the flower now.
I also have 2 in pots that I will dolly into my shop. they will still likely brown in there too. lol
