Thompson and Morgan Musa Basjoo Japanese Banana 10.5cm Plant in Pot 2 Pack

A striking perennial, the Musa Basjoo Japanese Banana, reaches heights of up to 5 metres with a spread of up to 4 metres at maturity. Its large, paddle-shaped leaves arch gracefully from the main trunk, showcasing drooping terminal spikes of cream flowers bearing large brown bracts during summer. While it produces attractive, inedible green fruits up to 6cm long, its true appeal lies in its dramatic foliage. Thriving in moist, well-drained soil, this plant prefers full sun or partial shade and benefits from deep planting to protect the rootstock. For optimal growth, consider cultivating it under glass or in a polytunnel using loam-based compost.
