Title: musa acuminata
Post by: adam04 on July 19, 2005, 22:48:47
not much look on the beeb, so here goes:

just bough one of these, apparantly they are fast growing, but how fast?? also they say they are very tender so what do i do in winter? can i just wrap it up and thats enough or does it need special treatment more than all the others??

any help with anything about this plant would be greatly recieved. thanks

It is also known as Dwarf cavendish Banana and grows edible fruits (Banana's) very tender, difficult to get through winter, must be over wintered indoors at the risk of infestation, probably a bit of a challenge. :'(

I bought two many years ago and they looked lovely, if I had room I would buy more and treat them the same as cut flowers...dump when dead :( ;D
