Anyone grown a Tropicanna?

What is the best way to cut them back?

Do i cut back the tallest stalk, to the base of the plant?

Is it ok to cut it midway up the plant just above a leaf?

????? Please clarify.
you aren't talking about a Tropicanna Apple tree are you?
Ah. Sorry. I didn't know there were other Tropicanna...

Nope, I am talking about a Tropicanna Black Canna.

i couldn't find much advice googling. i was planning to cut it back at the base and throw some leaves over it until spring. Then ill uncover and see if it comes back. Im

maybe you have some better advice...?
