Musa nagensium is still rare and hard to find, the true ones are not even really in cultivation yet. You can buy seeds from Trebrown but plants are not in wide circulation yet, if at all.

I have a load of them (grown from seeds from Trebrown). Anytime you come to Norway, bring a big suitcase.

Zone 9 is too cold for them to thrive, so I don't think you will manage in zone 8 unless you have a very very big greenhouse.
Import/export prevents me sending to you, but I have a pile of rather dormant but not rotting corms here in the UK. I have given up on them as too tropical for zone 9.

I should add: The seeds were sold to me as Musa NagensiumX, so most likely the plants are hybrids of some sort. All winter Gabe, Myself, and a few others discussed what these seeds really were, what the "True Nagensium" sold at Seedman were, and where musa cheesmani might fit in. I even wrote a mail to Markku Hakkinen in Finland trying to figure it out. So far I am not getting any smarter. :moosenaner:

I have seeds from Markku of a true M. nagensium variety he collected in the wild, the original form has not been seen in the wild for a long time, but this is newly discovered yellow budded variety is still a M. nagensium. I have not had any seeds germinate, but I plan to bring them with me to Hawaii to see if they would like to germinate better there.

I have several hybrids of Musa nagensium 'Florale noir' sprouted and the one I planted in my garden survived outdoor in zone 9a.

I also have a "pure" nagensium from Tropengarten, that was to small to be overwintered outside. (This picture was taken last year)

It really looks different from the 'Florale Noir' form. It has more slender and glaucous leaves.
