I've done some asking on the site selling it (Musa Banana | Groene Kamerplanten | Kamerplant.com (http://www.kamerplant.com/Groene-Kamerplanten/Musa-Banana/)), but they don't seem to know much. Initially told me it should be put in the shade with wet soil, and from what I've read here that's a great way to kill a banana. They also sent me a link to this site, which tells me it isn't suitable for consumption: Musa tropicana | Care | Take away trends (http://www.takeawaytrends.com/en/Care/Musa-tropicana)
The temperature advised (on the site) translated to F is 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
I asked a bunch of questions hoping to understand what kind of care is required and what kind of banana it is aswell as trying to figure out if they knew anything at all. I'd rather get the plant from a reputable source rather then some trendy bull****ters that refuse to share the actual cultivar but other then Basjoo and Velutina seeds it's virtually impossible to find banana's here.
Max height is around 6'7".
Produces pups weekly in growing season. ??? Maybe they meant leaves?! Yet earlier in the mail they advise to remove excessive amount of pups and that after fruiting the tree dies and a new pup will grow in it's place, so it appears they do mean pups.
Tissue cultured.
