Any other Bananas that are as easy as Basjoo to grow?

Post by Rachelpalm »

Hello
are there any other bananas that are as simple as basjoo to grow and take care of? Any other ones that are as hardy? Or can be bought indoors over winter with no problems?

Cheers

I've tried Basjoo and Ensete Maurelli for the first time this year and have to say I'm finding Maurelli (or Tandarra Red) a whole lot easier!

To grow yes lots, to obtain and then over winter not to many.

Musa Silkkimensis and its hybrids are probably the next hardiest variety in the uk.

Dwarf cavendish, e.ventricosum, e.maurelli and m.lasciocarpa are also relatively easy to grow and obtain but need some attention to over winter.

If you move beyond those you are starting to develop a serious banana habit....... welcome to the club :lol:
