Musa Basjoo (Japanese banana) is actually from China.
Musa Basjoo is a tall slender plant that makes a very good architectural plant in the garden.
The flowers are creamy yellow with large brown bracts. It brings a tropical atmosphere
to any garden, and in ideal conditions, fruit may be produced although not in the UK.
It is a tender perennial and should be moved to a frost-free area during winter. Requires a rich soil and a sunny sheltered position.
