Description
The banana palm is well known for its huge, long lance shaped green leaves which unfurl from its layered woody stem. Used best when creating an exotic jungle-style garden it looks brilliant in a sub-tropical border. Leaves die back over winter and this plant requires protection from hard frosts if not sheltered.
For best results, grow Musa basjoo in a sheltered sunny position in moist, well-drained soil that has had lots of organic matter incorporated.
Mature Height: 5 metres
