Mekong Giant
 
Anyone know anything about a Mekong Giant? I saw some on eBay and they look interesting, but I've never heard of them before.

Brian sells those on ebay here is a link to it.
Musa 'Mekong Giant' 10 LIIVE PLANTS - Cold Hardy | eBay

Sounds like it may be good to grow. If I had room I would grow one.

If I place and order from Brian this year I'll probably pick one up too... I am still looking for info elsewhere and haven't found it...

I ordered one off ebay on a make offer price of $9.00 including shipping about 2 weeks ago. I received about an 9" tall plant in good condition and replanted in a small temporary container outside. So far it seems to be doing well.
