Default Re: Botanical Height of Musa Basjoo.

I sent a small Musa Basjoo pup to my sister in Pennsylvania over 4 years ago. Her clump keeps getting bigger and bigger every year but they do not get much taller than this. The orignal banana finally fruited this year but it had been cut off at about 4 feet last winter and only had time to produce about 2 leaves before it fruited. It was a very small flower. Her clump of bananas is the talk of the neighborhood! They have dug up and gave away a few pups to the neighbors.
