I have been into my garden this evening to measure my Musa Basjoo.
Its dimensions are Height to top of stem where leaves emerge ; 74"
Total height of plant ; 98"
Leaf spread ; 84"
Individual Leaf size ; 56 x 24"
Pups 2 - 1 @ 4ft and 1 @ 5 ft.
This plant NEVER ceases to amaze me.
Is that it / Will it get any larger before it flowers.
My main question is ...what is the total height that this guy will achieve ??The leaves are like sails in the wind.
"Sillimensis" is 1 year younger and darker green leaves but broader and tougher.
My preference is still "Basjoo".
