Musa basjoo

Would you like to buy a hardy banana plant? Then Musa basjoo is a great pick. This hardy banana plant is also known as Japanese fibre banana or simply as hardy banana. In Japan, this banana is commonly used for its fibres. Despite being called the hardy banana, the plant itself can only sustain up to 5 degrees below zero. As soon as it gets colder than that, the best option is to keep it somewhere less cold, such as indoors. Musa basjoo is known to be able to sustain frost relatively well for a longer period of time, allowing you to keep the plant outside throughout most of the year. /p>

There is another option for keeping your banana outside during winter. You can cut the leaves of the banana before winter and protect the roots with a mulch layer, such as tree bark, wood chips or other organic material. With this mulch layer, the roots (and thus the banana) can survive frosts up to -12 degrees Celsius. As soon as the frost has left the soil, the banana will quickly regrow again in Spring. In Spring, new leaves will show up quickly again.

Musa Basjoo has an amazing appearance

Japanese fibre bananas have an amazing tropical appearance. This is due to the size of the leaves and the look of the trunk. You can clearly see that this is an exotic plant. Musa basjoo is popular for both indoors and outdoors. It will be a true eye catcher that will look good in any sunny (of half sunny) location. It may be good to know that it is difficult to get the Japanese fibre banana to flower in European climates. This means it is hard to get fruit as well. Nonetheless, this plant is an amazing addition to your garden. It is, after all, the leaves and trunk that makes this plant so charming. In any case, the fruit of Musa basjoo are not really great as edible fruit anyway.
