What temperatures will Musa Basjoo go down to?

Date:

Share post:

The leaves of Muso Basjoo will stop growing at 12 degrees Centigrade. They will start to get leaf damage at zero degrees centigrade.

A young pseudostem will die at a few degrees below freezing but a more mature stem of a thickness of 4-6 inches will tolerate temperatures down to minus 8 degrees Centigrade.

The rhizome roots will survive prolonged periods of average sub zero temperatures (0 to –8 degrees centigrade) but the leaves and stem will die back if unprotected
