Hi. Maybe some of you can tell me what is banana plant called "Freddi Banani"? It is being sold in Europe as cold hardy banana till, - 16 C (3 F). I'v got some information that, it's probably variety of Musa basjoo but I can confirm it nowhere.
Thanks in advance, Seweryn

Hi. My banana finally grows in the garden, there were a lot of storms here and after that many leafs were damaged so i had to cut it off .

Definitely looks like basjoo. Is the mid rib of the leaf reddish?
