Musa 'Darjeeling Giant' (Darjeeling Giant Banana)

SunZone: 8-10, guessing 240" tall Origin: India

Open House/Web-Only! (aka: Musa 'Daj giant') We purchased these seeds from India as a naturally occurring giant hardy hybrid banana from India's Darjeeling Hills region, whose mama was the winter hardy Musa sikkimensis, but whose baby-daddy was unknown. We're trying these out for the first time, so we can't confirm the winter hardiness yet. About all we can tell you is that the new growth has a stunning red-purple back, the flowers are dark purple on the outside, and the plants reach 20' in height. Won't you join us in giving this new banana a try? Pot size: 2 qt. (1.892 L)
