Musa balbisiana
 
This is my wild banana from seed collected in Thailand from wilderness.
I had 8 seeds, only one germinated in 2016.
Here is the winter is quite cold, sometimes -15C during the night so I overwinter it in a basement at around 5-10C with little light with all the leaves cut. This banana takes cold very well, during a night it was outside at -3C and little bit of snow on the leaves and it still survived. It grows very fast druing the summer, but continues to grow during the cold weather.
I hope this year will make fruits. It doesn't make any pups, which is quite weird for me.


The banana height reaches 5 meters.
