Hello griphuz,

It is not strange that there are no originated musas in Japan.
Except Ryukyu istands(Okinawa diestricts), the winter is relatively cold enough
to record freezing points so often and there was no such a condition where
musas grew wild. But during these some hundreds years, not only Basjoos but
also other musas including Japanese Fiber bananas and some edible musas
had been indtroduced first to the Okinawan districts and then spread to to
other regions where the climate are relaritvely comfortable to these plants.
Thus especially Basjoos are seen wild everywhere in this country, but even
now we can seldom see edible bananas planted outside in the ground any-
where except Okinawa near Taiwan.
