Description: Musa - Basjoo Banana - Banana Tree Description This auction is for one (1) Musa Basjoo Banana Tree - live plant This fantastic banana is known for its ability to be grown in all 50 states. It has quickly gained popularity due to its rapid growth and ease of care. Cold hardy in zones 3-7, the Basjoo will give you that tropical look no matter where you live. Current stock is 24 to 36 inches tall and is shipped bare root in a sealed plastic bag in a USPS tube. Please note, this product will be shipped with foliage removed to facilitate safe and secure shipping. Leaf removal will not damage the plant or effect it in any way. Cultivation Musa Basjoo has been cultivated both for it's fiber and as an ornamental plant in gardens outside its natural range, first in Japan, and from the late 19th century, then in the warmer parts of western Europe (north of the United Kingdom), the United States, and southern Canada. In gardens, it is used as a hardy 'tropical foliage' plant. Although the pseudostem may only cope with a few degrees below freezing, the underground rhizome is considered frost hardy, if well insulated with thick mulch, in areas with winter temperatures down to -10 °F. The roots are considered hardy to -14 °F. If the pseudostem is killed, the banana will resprout from the ground where it rapidly grows to full size in a season under optimal conditions. Thus, it can be grown as far north as USDA zone 6a. It can also be overwintered undercover in a pot and kept growing. Be prepared, on receipt, to transplant this item within 12-24 hours. If planting into a container, have at least a 2 gallon for short term transplant and a 5 gallon or larger container for long term transplant. In-ground transplant should be done after last frost in your local area. Use a peat/perlite mix for potted transplant and soil amendment for in-ground. In both cases, water thoroughly.
