| - | ==Description== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The Chinese Yellow Banana is a rare variety of banana from Yunnan, China. In its native land, the banana grows in high mountain regions with an elevation of 8,000 feet! Musella lasiocarpa has gray-green foliage, but it's grown for its large yellow flower which last up to 8 months! After flowering, tiny fruits may appear with dark, black seeds. This banana multiplies quickly producing many pups throughout the year. The Yellow Banana is a very unique and unusual banana for any garden and is very easy to grow. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===Origin=== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | China (extinct in wild) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Date realized in trade - 1998? | + | |
| - | Becoming more popular | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===Usage=== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Ornamental | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Tropical foliage | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Grown for its flower | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==Flowering== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Large, yellow flower; Occasionally a single plant can produce several flowers that emerge from the pseudostem | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Time To Bloom - 2 to 3 years | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Flower lasts up to 8 months and can withstand frost | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Flowers attract wasps and bees | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==Cultivation== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Mature Height - 4 to 6 feet | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Survival Zone - 6b to 10 | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Fruiting Zone - 7 to 10 | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Cold Hardiness - at least 10°F with winter mulch and protection; can stand light frost without leaf damage | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Wind - Very wind tolerant unlike most bananas; leaves will not tear under normal windy conditions | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Sun - Full sun | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Taste Description - Fruit is not edible | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Propagation - Difficult to separate pups; divide larger pups in late spring or summer; it is necessary to dig very close to the parent plant in order to get some roots for the pup; usually easier to dig up the entire clump to separate the pups | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Personal Notes - Like all bananas, the yellow banana is a heavy feeder. Apply steady applications of fertilizer (such as organic products like cow manure or fish emulsion or synthetic products such as a balanced fertilizer) throughout the growing season; apply a good layer of mulch around the base of the banana to conserve soil moisture | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Growing Tips - Grow in well draining, amended soil; protect from winter cold in zones 6 and 7; consider digging the banana up, storing in a crawl space or unheated garage for the winter in colder areas, and then plant outside again the following spring; separate pups very carefully as they have small corms close to the parent plant | + | |
