Is it toast?

Last summer I planted a musa basjoo which had good not great growth (last summer was on the cool side). I got about 6 ft of growth. Once the first frost knocked it down I cut the main stem off at about the 4ft mark then I used a tomato cage (don't laugh its what I had at the house) around it and I put some dried fall leaves inside. I wrapped the whole thing in a frost cloth. My goal was to try in preserve the main stem at 4 ft. so come spring it would resume growth and possibly reach at least 8 ft. Well I did not do a good job of protecting it (my first time) and I pulled back the cloth and the stem feels squishy. Just wondering if the stem is toast and should I just dig it up and put it into my garage until spring?
