Cultivation Musa Basjoo has been cultivated both for it's fiber and as an ornamental plant in gardens outside its natural range, first in Japan, and from the late 19th century, then in the warmer parts of western Europe (north of the United Kingdom), the United States, and southern Canada. In gardens, it is used as a hardy 'tropical foliage' plant. Although the pseudostem may only cope with a few degrees below freezing, the underground rhizome is considered frost hardy, if well insulated with thick mulch, in areas with winter temperatures down to -10 °F. The roots are considered hardy to -14 °F. If the pseudostem is killed, the banana will resprout from the ground where it rapidly grows to full size in a season under optimal conditions. Thus, it can be grown as far north as USDA zone 6a. It can also be overwintered undercover in a pot and kept growing. Be prepared, on receipt, to transplant this item within 12-24 hours. If planting into a container, have at least a 2 gallon for short term transplant and a 5 gallon or larger container for long term transplant. In-ground transplant should be done after last frost in your local area. Use a peat/perlite mix for potted transplant and soil amendment for in-ground. In both cases, water thoroughly.
