Default Musa Balbisiana 'Atia Black'

Hi all,

Some time before last Christmas I ordered and sowed some 'black atia' seeds which have started sprouting this month. So far 3 have properly taken off, with a fourth one which has shed its plug and should go off soon. (Not visible in the picture)

The order was a bit a spur of the moment thing, in which I decided to be oblivious to the fact that they grow to be 18ft tall in good conditions, more than twice the max height I usually limit myself too

Anyways, could someone clarify whether or not atia black is the same as thai black? And does anybody have experience with this musa. Specifically in term of cold hardiness. (I'm in zone 9a here)

Kind regards,

Karl
