Thompson & Morgan Japanese Banana – Musa Basjoo 15cm X 2

Musa basjoo, also known as the Japanese Banana, is a tender perennial that adds a touch of tropical beauty to any planting scheme. With its gigantic and long leaves that unfurl at the top of the woody stem during summer, it creates a shady and tranquil holiday look. The distinct architectural appeal of the leaves is a standout feature of this plant. As it matures, it produces white flowers, which can develop into small, edible green fruits. Musa basjoo is suitable for growing in borders in milder regions of the UK, although winter protection is necessary. It can also be grown in a large container, which allows for easy movement indoors during the cooler months. Achieving a height of 5m and a spread of 4m, this Japanese Banana makes a stunning focal point in gardens, patios, greenhouses, conservatories, or as a specimen plant in an exotic garden.
