Musella lasiocarpa is an exciting banana relative that comes from high altitudes in the Yunnan province in China. The banana, formerly one of the sacred flowers of local Buddhism, has become very rare as it served a food for people and livestock during harsh times. The maximum height of the plant is only about 5ft, half of which is a very stout, conical trunk, topped by a crown of handsome, slightly glaucous, broad leaves. The Flower which is big and bright yellow, appears in its second year, and grows upright at the top of the trunk. As the inflorescence grows in size, tiny 'bananas' begin to appear under each bract which curls back to reveal the fruits.
Musella appreciates heavy watering and feeding and a place in full sun. It will flourish in all climates from cool tropical down to temperate, where it will be found to be root hardy, enduring even cold winters with its underground rhizome. It also makes a perfect conservatory plant which will be a true conversation piece that certainly will not outgrow its location.
The seed germinates easily and subsequent seedling growth is very fast.
