Product Description

Hardy Basjoo Banana Plant - Musa basjoo. Amazing "hardy tropical" banana for the north or south, though native to the Ryukyu Archipelago which lies between Japan and Taiwan, Musa basjoo is also very common in parts of China. This specimen will survive temperatures as low as -20 if mulched. Full sun with lots of water & fertilizer to achieve the amazing growth rate, but it will do fine in light shade as well. Beautiful deep green clump can grow up to 18' tall or more, and really gives a tropical warm sunny feeling. Great for any place in the garden, especially great around pools or patios, courtyards and wonderful in a border with other colorful perennials & grasses. Fruit will set from white flowers if the tree can achieve over 25-35 leaves in one season and talk about texture, leaves can grow 2'x 6'!!!. Mix with fine and medium textured plants for variety. The starter plant you will receive is growing in a 3" pot.

This review is from: Winter Hardy Basjoo Banana Plant - Musa - 4" POT

I received this plant very quickly and it was packaged very well. This plant turned out to be very hardy and has even lasted through a barren summer in Northern California.

I received this plant in the middle of winter (in mid-Atlantic region), it was packed well and almost immediately started producing new growth. It was about 8" tall when I got it. It is now almost 5 feet tall. Great plant that grows fast. Watch out for spider mites in the summer - make sure to give the plant a good spray now and then to kill the mites.

I purchased two different 3" banana plants from this company. Both arrived quickly in good condition. They were re planted and have already formed new leaves. Good product would recommend this company for future purchases.
