Can you prune a Musa Basjoo (Banana Plant)

Hi All,

I have a 2 year old Musa Basjoo, banana plant the the stem is about 4ft tall plus the leaves on top, it has now started growing again, but I'm moving house soon and want to take it with me.

Is it possible to cut the stem horizontally(spell) to say half way down to make it easier to transport?

If so is there a prefered technique or time of year to do this?

Many Thanks

Phil
