Musa basjoo Crete by Yucca Do Nursery collectorsRecent research has shown that Musa basjoo, the world's hardiest banana species, is actually from Sichuan, China and not Japan. This 16 20' slowly spreading species makes a thick green stem that sports 6' long, narrow, green leaves arching from the top of the solid green trunk. The flower emerges from near the top of the stem like a yellow orange torpedo. After the flowers open, you will be blessed with clusters of small, yellow, 2" long bananas.
