Musa Basjoo (Japenese Fiber Banana)

* Max height 12' - 18’ * Spacing 10' - 12' * Min. temp -29C * Sun *

Musa Basjoo is the hardiest Banana plant on earth.  It comes from the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.  When properly mulched it can handle -29 Celsius.  This plant is a very fast grower capable of growing up to two feet in one week.  The plant stops actively growing at 5C and at -2C the leaves start to die back.  Protecting the plant can be done by cutting it back at 2 or 3 feet and covering with mulch and plastic.  For the lazy gardener wrap the trunk of the plant with water pipe insulation.  In the spring remove the plastic and mulch and watch it grow back very quickly.  Once established we did no mulching or protection for several winters without any plants dying on us in our west coast climate.  Available online or at our retail center in Chilliwack, BC.
