Re: Please Help!!!
You can tell it is Musella lasiocarpa from a few pieces of info.
Leaf shape: the tips are very pointed and the bases are tapered into the petiole.
Pseudostem: It is rather stout and significantly wider at the base then at the top. The live part of the leaf sheaths are slightly bulbous.
Cold hardiness: This species is also very hardy like M. basjoo, and so is often mixed up with it, but they are very easy to tell apart even when the plants are very young.
