Musa laterina?
Can anyone tell me something about Musa laterina?
Is anyone growing it? Can I overwinter it cold (5 deg C)? Kind regards, Remko. |

Re: Musa laterina?
It didn't seem cold hardy in a unheated greenhouse in zone 8, got down to about 20F that year.

Re: Musa laterina?
I think you mean, Musa laterita. Its very easy to grow as a house plant, but Ive never tried storing it.

Re: Musa laterina?
So could I compare it to Musa velutina and ornata for that matter?
I found some info from David's site: Musa laterita But the only overwintering I have is an unheated greenhouse... |

Re: Musa laterina?
Probaby less hardy than those two you mentioned, but mine wasn't pupping yet so, it wasn't the most mature plant, and in a small pot.

Re: Musa laterina?
OK I just bought one but I don't know anything about it. I thought it can fruit small bananas like ninos. But I want it no matter.
