Musa Dajiao
Hi,do you know that banana an have some info? I read somewhere it's a crossing between Sikkimensis and Balbisiana ...Musa Dajiao is known for growing very fast...
- Jardin Exotique Sorry i just see a similar thread in another place... |
Re: Musa Dajiao
"Dajiao" -Da means in Chinese Great or Big, and Jiao means Banana.
So it shall mean "Great Banana" or "Big Banana". But I have no idea why this banana has been so called. |
Re: Musa Dajiao
I don't know anything about it. But being where you live I'd give it a try.:bananas_b

Re: Musa Dajiao
Sounds like a name made up by the nursery or their supplier.
Why would a cross between 2 Indian species be given a Chinese name? don't we already have crosses between Sikkimensis and Balbisiana? 'Darjeeling Giant'. I suppose it could be a cross the other way, but even so. Aaah a quick search gives me :- Dongguan Agristar Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Musa Dajiao. |
Re: Musa Dajiao
do you know anything of i's hardiness?
|
Re: Musa Dajiao
I did some research on them and I came to M. Sapientium and Silk subgroup.
I have few TC seedlings so I can only wait and see:ha: :woohoonaner: |
Re: Musa Dajiao
I don't know anything of its hardiness, but I would guess it is nothing too special. It is definitely not a member of the AAB Silk subgroup, it is an ABB.

Re: Musa Dajiao
Looking good, will u protect it somehow during the winter?
|
Re: Musa Dajiao
I am thinking of leaving it outside unprotected.
Last year I lost all my bananas because we had some cold weather from north east Europe in spring that lasted for a week, otherwise all the banana did well in the winter including the small one. We rarely reach -2 and usually for few nights only. Instead last spring we had a snow with -1 during the day and -2/-3 during the night for a week, at the 3rd day all nana died because of the water inside freezing and cracking everything. Some were even protected with pluriball. They were all smaller than this however. |
Re: Musa Dajiao
Yes, same as here. I also had to dig out most of mine for that cold spell. Let's hope we'll both have a "normal winter" again.

Re: Musa Dajiao
A strong plant you have there Christian and a good growth for only one season.
But somehow the plant from you Ante looks different to me. At least here on this threat it is. Or is it only becouse of the hot spot where it is planted in? http://www.bananas.org/f260/my-tc-ex...t-11562-3.html |
Re: Musa Dajiao
Mine comes from :
palmenverkoop.nl They were very cheap, can't remember now, around 5 eur. The site is not working now. Banana pups are all so similar that anybody could send anything.... We will never know if mine is a Dajiao or Ante's is one, could be neither. |
Re: Musa Dajiao
I just checked that thread, the tissue culture one look like mine(slim elongated leaves), the bigger one at page 3 looks like nothing like mine.
Are these from the same batch or you bought them elsewhere? |
Re: Musa Dajiao
Yes I agree. Who knows what did they mixed up. Probably a part is mixed up in lab and part by all dealers what were involved in distribution
