Musa Basjoo?
Bought 3 of these a few week ago- I am thinking they are musa basjoo- any thoughts. I am in zone 9- they seem to be doing quite well thus far- any idea if they will produce pups, or is propagation from the "death flower" seeds only? thanks in advance. Ken

Re: Musa Basjoo?
Looks like a Basjoo to me. Yes, Basjoo will produce a lot of pups.

Re: Musa Basjoo?
awesome- thanks- the guy I bought it from said that he would wait for the tree to flower (7-8 yrs) he would then let it (the whole tree) die off, and collect the seeds- he never mentioned the pups- I know my ethiopian bananas produce pups, so this is what I was hoping for. I am assuming this will take some time (to produce pups) as the tree matures. thanks again.

Re: Musa Basjoo?
It shouldn't take that much time to produce pups if you water it and fertilize it correctly. In your zone, you could expect a bloom in 1.5 to 2 years. In fact, I think you should try your luck at some edible bananas.

Re: Musa Basjoo?
Looks like an ensete ventricosum to me, a cousin of bananas (musa). If it is a basjoo you will see lots of pups soon, but if it is an ensete it will not pup, which is why he mentioned cultivation from seeds

Re: Musa Basjoo?
Well, it could be Ensete Ventricosum. I said Basjoo because I assumed it has a deficiency of some sort. Now that I think of it, it looks more like EV.
And try Dwarf Namwah, that's a great tasting edible that will do well in your area.

Re: Musa Basjoo?
Ibet you can get it to pup if you destroy the main growing point and also cut it off at the ground like I do with the ensete maurelii. But you might not want to destroy such a nice plant.
