Hi Stan,
Hisashiburi! Maybe this is a good place to ask you, does M. basjoo manage to fruit and set seed as far north as Shizuoka? I expect they manage to flower, but wouldn't the winter damage them too much for successful fruiting? And are basho plants quite common up there? Down here a fruiting banana that looks just like M. balbisiana is I think more common (at least along the coast). Inland I have seen more basho.
