Yes ...you are correct never described a detailed comparison
If you forum search both plants you will get an idea of how the plant grows.

Basjoo is a nice clumping landscape plant.
Mekong giant is a runner like bamboo randomly sending shoots up everywhere or busting out a landscape container.
There are some good threads about each plant on the forum and internet.
Here is one such thread.
Musa itinerans var. itinerans is creeping into the yard.


Side by side 20 feet away the plants look almost the same.
Mekong Giant is just a cool name to market the plant.

Wstrickland is correct....site the plant where it will roam.
