Re: Anyone know what this is
Hey Kevin,
It looks like possibly a Basjoo, which is a cold-hardy, ornamental variety based on its jungle green leaves and prominent midribs. Its still kind of hard to tell--maybe someone else can give their vote as well. Best wishes, Andy |

Re: Anyone know what this is
If your friend bought it in any nursery within HZ6 (yours) then basjoo is a good guess.
However this one, judging from the photo does not look like a basjoo to me. A good indication would be, if the midrib on the back of the leaf has a reddish stripe. Sometimes those stripes are a bit faint though. If you cannot see one on one leaf, look at another one. Good luck, Olaf

Re: Anyone know what this is
Well, does it have a reddish stripe along the midrib in the back of the leaves?
It does not look like any basjoo, I have ever met. But that may be, because of the fact,that is jammed in such a small pot, has affected its development and shape.

Re: Anyone know what this is
Pretty sure its a Basjoo, when mine were in lower light over winter, the reddish tint was absent.
