Product Description
Also known as Japanese fiber banana or Hardy banana which is native to Japan's Ryukyu Archipelago that grows to 18' tall. Bananas equates to tropical landscapes , however, this plant can even grow in locations that get snow down to Zone 5. The large cream or yellow flowers are produced during the summer, but you should not expect to eat the fruit on this species. Each small green banana is filled with black seeds and a little white pulp that made this inedible. Musa Basjoo has been cultivated for its fibers and as an ornamental plant. The fibers are used to produce textiles known as banana cloth. The pseudo-stems of the plant are beaten, bleached and dried to produce the raw material, which can then be made into products like hand-knotted carpets, tablecloths, kimonos and paper.

-Grows Fast
--In the heart of summer it seems to grow a leaf every couple days
-Overwinters nice
-Lots of pups
-Very forgivin
-New growth in first 24hrs after unboxing
I keep my tree from 2016 goin for 6 years. It would have kept going, but I failed to overwinter properly. They have survived harsh Chicago winters. Although I don't recommend it, the tree survived the winter in ground unprotected.
The plant was packed well and shipped properly. As expected, it looked like a plant that has been in a tiny box for a few days when arrived. Transplant in large container with quality soil, and with a little TLC, you'll have a very nice tropical plant to show off for years.
I received them later in the year so they went right under the lights inside. They have tripled in size in about a month. Should be quite well off by late spring for the outside planting.
Update! One month in, the growth was slow and I decided to repot it again and adjust the soil, only to realize the roots hadn't expanded a bit since I'd potted it two weeks ago. Closer inspection, I noticed the roots were wrapped in root mesh- a product often used by growers to keep the plant growing upwards before sale rather than staying small while it works on its root structure. REMOVE THE MESH! I removed mine last week, and my plant looks healthy as can be, with a new leaf spiking out only a day after, and the leaf color returning with structure rather than floppiness. Now it will have a chance to gain some strength from the expanding roots, allowing it to take in more nutrients and water from the soil

The plant was definitely too small to easily survive any amount of time in a dark box in the mail and was much smaller, younger and less healthy than the picture on the listing. While I have done it before with consistent success, I really didn't expect much in ordering a plant through the mail but never would have expected someone to send such a young plant and expect it to survive. It wouldn't have survived without significant attention.
I chose 9GreenBox because of the positive reviews and am definitely disappointed.
