This is the banana everyone will be talking about in 2 to 5 years. This is a unknown species that is cold hardy probably more cold tolerant than basjoo. It also has some of the largest flowers of any Musa in the world. Its flowers are Maroon to red and huge. It can grow to about 30 feet tall and the trunks have some pink coloration to them. It has huge Rhizomes under the ground much like a Canna would that go down about 1 to 2 feet deep. This will be the new plant to get in the near future for people interested in hardy tropicals.
