Suddenly this has become one of our best selling items.

Cutting edge Landscape Architects have fallen in love with the Basjoo Banana and the whole tropical feel. People see it and want their own.

The Basjoo is the world's most hardy and cold tolerant banana. It grows from Miami into parts of Canada. It tolerates drought and neglect. Even deer leave it alone. You just plant it and forget it.

Once established it can grow an amazing 2 feet per week. Reaching a height of 6-9 feet in pots or 16 feet in the ground.

This is one of those plants that's just fun to watch! It puts out enormous bright green leaves that measure 2-6 feet long. In summer, small, golden yellow blooms are grown in long clusters.

The Basjoo is not only the hardiest banana, but the most attractive as well. Use it to liven up a sitting area, pool side or yard perimeter.

If you live in the far north, you will need to place several inches of mulch around it, particularly if you get down to -20F. In extreme conditions some growth may freeze back. Not a problem, just cut back the affected area and watch it quickly grow back in spring.

These bold and striking garden plants love a little fertilizer and good drainage. Order yours now.

5-6 ft. size is measured from the ground to the top of the plant.
