The Hardy Banana, also known as the Japanese Fiber Banana, is a cold hardy banana species native to China and Japan. Known for its remarkable cold tolerance, the roots of the Hardy Banana can survive freezing temperatures down to -10 degrees Fahrenheit, making it easily the hardiest banana species out there. Fast growing, these plants can quickly reach 10 to 15 feet in height, sometimes in a single growing season.

While these bananas do fruit, they are not a cultivated variety and the fruit is full of seeds. A must have addition for the temperate garden going for that tropical look. Our plants are very quick growing and are ready to go in the ground.

Cold hardy to zone 6a, or to -10 degrees Fahrenheit.
