Musa basjoo Crete (aka: Rubus hayata-koidzumiiRecent research has shown that Musa basjoo, the world's hardiest banana species, is actually from Sichuan, China and not Japan. This 16 20' slowly spreading species makes a thick green stem that sports 6' long, narrow, green leaves arching from the top of the solid green trunk. The flower emerges from near the top of the stem like a yellow orange torpedo. After the flowers open, you will be blessed with clusters of small, yellow, 2" long bananas.
