Musa basjoo: Characteristics and Care

The Musa basjoo, popularly known as the Japanese banana or hardy banana plant, is a large, perennial plant native to East Asia. It stands out for its large, paddle-shaped, intense green leaves, making it one of the most cold-resistant ornamental banana species.

Its large size and lush foliage make it a highly valued option for bringing a tropical feel to gardens, patios, and exotic arrangements.

It tolerates moderate cold better than most species of its genus, resprouting from the base after light frosts; it appreciates regular watering during its growth period.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
