| Musa  |
Description Musa 'Basjoo' is known as Hardy Fiber Banana because it is the most cold hardy
banana in the world! This banana is from the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.
'Basjoo' is known to survive temperatures of -3F and -20F if mulch is
used. This is a great banana to use for a tropical looking landscape in
colder climates. The Hardy Fiber Banana has 6' long bright green leaves
with red down the mid vein. 'Basjoo' has a clumping growth habit and can
get 8-15 foot tall at maturity. When fully mature this banana will produce
yellow-orange flowers, followed by 2" long small bananas. The fruit
is not edible but the cold hardiness more than makes up for that! Hardiness: USDA Zones
5-11 (WOW!)
