Banana Identity ?

15 years ago

I've garnered some info from identify forum about my banana plant and the winter here in SC. Inch or six of snow about every 7 years but it does get down to the mid 20's with occasional frost. My plants are next to my house so it will provide some cover from the frost but I want to make sure they survive the winter, first year in the ground, Thanks for any info and guidance. Lynn & Mike

It's very hard to identify bananas not in fruit. Where did you acquire it? And where do you live.

It looks just like my Musa basjoo. I am far from an expert, but in my understanding very few bananas can take mid-20s and survive. I'd say if it makes it through the winter it's unlikely to be anything other than a Musa basjoo.
