This banana takes cold very well, during a night it was outside at -3C and little bit of snow on the leaves and it still survived. It grows very fast druing the summer, but continues to grow during the cold weather.
I hope this year will make fruits. It doesn't make any pups, which is quite weird for me.


The banana height reaches 5 meters.
