Musa Basjoo banana trees thrive in Kentucky - and farther north GARDENING: The plants grow tall and bear fruit - but not for food. Plants, advice on growing them will be available at the Farmers Market on the Square, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY, on Saturday, June 7, 2014, 8am-1pmCT Click on headline for complete article, photo(s) Special to ColumbiaMagazine.com Bananas growing in Kentucky is not something you see every day and when you do you can bet that some gardener devotes a lot of time to them. Until now. Musa Basjoo is a cold hardy banana that is native to the Ryuku Islands near Japan. It can be grown directly in the ground year round as far north as Canada. This is a large, fast-growing plant that grows to 6-14' tall and even taller given the right conditions. Gardeners grow these plants not for their fruit (which is small, green and inedible) but for their ornamental foliage which lends an exotic and tropical look to the landscape. Trees produce huge paddle-shaped leaves that grow to 2' wide and to 6' long. Creamy yellow flowers may appear in summer on mature plants to be followed by inedible green fruit. Master Gardener Barbara Armitage will have Musa Basjoo Banana Trees at Farmers Market on the Square on Saturday and will answer questions about growing banana trees or other landscape plants at her Tucker Station Farms booth at the Farmers Market on the Square, Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY, 8am-1pmCT, Saturday, June 7, 2014.
