Plant in a Box Musa Basjoo - Set of 2 banana plants

Musa Basjoo, also known as the hardy banana plant, originates from southern China. It is the hardiest banana tree there is. Musa Basjoo is an excellent garden banana that can be planted in the ground, but can also be kept in a tub or on the patio. The banana tree can flower and bear fruit after just 3 years. Under ideal conditions, the banana plant can grow up to 4 metres tall and 150 cm wide.

Care
The Musa Basjoo grows best in a sunny spot in a nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. The banana plant needs plenty of water in the summer months from April to September. The more water the plant gets, the faster it grows. Under the right conditions, it can grow up to 180 cm per year! In winter, the top of the plant dies back without protection. It returns in spring and starts its growth spurt again. If the plants are in a pot, they can also be brought indoors in winter and will continue to grow.
