Fresh 2024 seed


Musa sikkimensis has become one of the most popular hardy bananas grown in the UK.  The leaves are a darker glossy green, with new leaves producing a  lovely pink flush to the underside as they open up. Some seedlings have markings almost as striking as Zebrina, and quite spectacular as a large plant. Musa sikkimensis grows quickly, and once established can be further propagated by suckers. Originating from 1800m up in the Himalayas, it is tolerant to frost at the roots. Good resilience to wind, and continues to grow in cool weather.
