Himalaya Banana
Musa thomsonii

Perfect for use in the landscape for their ornamental appeal. This is one of very few types grown in Northern India and the Himalayas. Green narrow trunks grow about 9-12 feet (3-4 meters) if grown as a specimen plant outdoors and about 4-8 feet as a potted plant. Long, slender green leaves are graced by intense red flower bracts followed by sweet fruit that will contain seeds. (Unlike commercial hybrids found in the supermarket) Bring the tropics to your home! Does well outdoors in zone 8+
NOTE: Germination times vary from 3 months to 9 months. Not all will come up at the same time
