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

Yeah. Same. One in front always comes back well but it seems to kinda jump or turn in position with the new growth when I’ve cut it down to the base post-freeze. Any reckoning on that?
