Yup, NOT basjoos.

It's funny you should mention books. Almost all books that contain info. about bananas I have read, has had wrong information of some kind. There is a book called "Banana you can grow", wich I have not read myself, but I have heard from some people on another board that there are a few misunderstandings in that book too.
In the book "Palms won't grow here, and other myths" the author provides good information on musa basjoo, rajapuri, orinoco and sikkimensis (as well as palms and other tropical looking plants). But he seems to have mixed up "Musa paradisiaca-Mysore(?)" with "Ensete ventricosum".
