Saving pseudo stem/trunk outdoors in Michigan

Does the pseudo stem need to breathe during dormancy? I plan to attempt overwintering Musa Basjoo pseudo stem and keep it in tact by stacking styrofoam boxes around it, then stuffing around the trunk with straw, then build a wire cage around the stack of boxes, and mulching with more straw, then covering the whole thing with a tarp. Do I need to drill some holes in the styrofoam boxes for breathability?
