Musa 'Basjoo'

Musa 'Basjoo'
Musa 'Basjoo' is cold hardy to USDA hardiness Zone 3, making it one of the most cold-hardy bananas available. Basjoo has long, slender, bright green leaves and it can reach a height of 18 feet. The inflorescence of Basjoo is quite striking in the landscape, but the fruit is not edible. This banana will also do well in containers.
