I live in zone 9a and it survived freak snow. Bananas edible but you have to cut lower half of fingers to allow upper to grow.
Interesting! If mine ever blooms again I’ll have to try it!
I have a question do u thing it would grow in a zone 3
Grow, yes, it will grow fine. I don’t think it will survive winters outdoors in the ground in that climate. They can survive Zone 6 easily with little to no protection, and zone 5 with some protection. Zone 3 or 4 are going to be tough. Possibly could be done with elaborate protection methods, basically would need to build a temporary heated structure around the plant.
Where did you get your's ? My wife is from the Philippines and would love a supply of leaves. Thanks for the video.
My original plants my Mother bought me on eBay for my birthday, but that was about 20 years ago. The current clump was sourced from Agri-Starts in Apopka Florida. They produce small plants to be sold in 72 cell trays for the horticultural industry. Not the best choice for someone looking for one or two plants. Based on a quick Google search, Plant Delights Nursery has some, and Amazon had some. You’ll get a much better plant from Plant Delights than Amazon but of course you will pay a lot more for it.

Ok, question. When the fruit is described as inedible, does that mean toxic or just that it tastes like crap/weird texture/all of the above. How attractive is it to deer? I'm super interested in hardy banana for homestead tamale wrapper purposes.
Inedible means not worth eating if sane and not starving. They aren’t toxic at all. Species bananas have very little of the sweet edible white stuff, most of the fruit is composed of large seeds. The pulp/meat of basjoo is really astringent, like eating the inner peel of an unripe cultivated banana. Not fun to eat but won’t harm anyone. I haven’t found any of the various bananas to be attractive to deer, which is odd as domestic animals seem to love them.? I haven’t had a tamale wrapped in basjoo leaves, but I have had a sticky rice dumplings sort of thing wrapped in basjoo leaves that seemed to work fine.
So, we need to figure out a better way to communicate than messaging on HG. Just to get you an update, I made some tamales with the leaves when I cut the plant down due to a frost advisory. Totally awesome. The plant I had put in the ground first had 4 pups showing right before the end.
Will it flower in zone 9b?
It flowers in London Uk for example ! In your climate can fruit an Orinoco
do you sell small pups!?
hey man is that the devils bible??
The background for my intro is the Voynich Manuscript. I bet you’d really like it. Super mysterious.
