Default I've had this one for years

Hey, folks,

When my son was about eight, we went to a local garden store and bought an unlabeled banana. Now he's in medical school, and that banana has survived heat, drought, three feet of snow and five degree cold snaps. And I still don't know what it is!

Here's a pic from today:

Those are pups from this one - taken last September:

For the curious, that's not a young woman, but a scare-crow, or rather, a scare-heron. We live next to the Anacostia River, and I really don't want the Great Blue Herons to turn my koi into sushi!

.

Not sure there's much to go on, as far as identity goes, but thanks for looking!

Best,

Bill

Based on your zone, where you bought it, your survival description, and the pics, I am pretty sure its a basjoo.
