M.basjoo/M.sikkimensis in tropical climates
 

Does anybody know how Musa Basjoo, and or Musa sikkimensis does in tropical climates? Do they die back in the heat of summer, and not stand the year round hot climate? How about in South Florida, or abroad in Brazil, ect?

Thanks

I imagine they do just fine in the heat. :waving:They probably wilt back more than other varieties though. Mine handled temps of over 100 for weeks without any problems. Guess we should ask some of the Florida growers. Course they may have no use for hardy nana's where they're at. LOL-Nate

I haven't seen any problems with them in warmer climates, they grow just like any other banana. It seems more to be that they are able to tolerate the cold, but do not require it like some of the other highland Musa species.
