Anyone know anything about a Mekong Giant? I saw some on eBay and they look interesting, but I've never heard of them before.

Brian sells those on ebay here is a link to it.
Musa 'Mekong Giant' 10 LIIVE PLANTS - Cold Hardy | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Musa-Mekong-Giant-10-LIIVE-PLANTS-Cold-Hardy-/260774801957?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb763b225)
Sounds like it may be good to grow. If I had room I would grow one.

If I place and order from Brian this year I'll probably pick one up too... I am still looking for info elsewhere and haven't found it...

I ordered one off ebay on a make offer price of $9.00 including shipping about 2 weeks ago. I received about an 9" tall plant in good condition and replanted in a small temporary container outside. So far it seems to be doing well.

ive been interested in adding mekong/itinerans to my ever increasing
collection..
i see brians for sale..and couple more now selling them..
i always trust brians plants..couple others on ebay.. and those members
from bananas.org that have sold on ebay.. several of my ensetes,sabas
are going great from there..
? is the "mekong" a fast grower? anyone have any yrs of history with the
plant?
here in utah.. i have at most 5 1/2 months good outdoor warm growing
conditions.. so im limited in growing season..
thanks..

It's a Musa itinerans variety, probably var. itinerans.
