Default Re: All-red thai banana slowly making its way into the US

This plant is not from tissue culture, it is directly from Thailand and is an offset of a plant growing there. I have gotten one myself from the same source and seen the mature plants growing there, they are fast growers and beautiful.

As for cold-hardiness, since the plant is barely out of Thailand (and I have not even seen it in other Asian countries), I doubt that any data regarding cold-hardiness is available. Mine has been down to 55F in my greenhouse, but that is all the information I have.
