Musa sikkimensis | Daj Giant | 5 Seeds

Musa sikkimensis 'Daj Giant' is a magnificent and robust banana plant hailing from the Himalayan region, particularly Sikkim in India. This exceptional banana species grows as a large herbaceous shrub or tree, typically reaching towering heights of 12 to 20 feet (3.6 to 6 meters) or more. What truly distinguishes it is its imposing size and striking appearance. The 'Daj Giant' features broad, paddle-shaped leaves that are rich green and may exhibit burgundy or maroon markings on the undersides, creating a dramatic visual contrast. While it does produce small, inedible bananas, it is primarily cultivated for its immense and ornate presence, making it a prized choice for tropical and botanical gardens. Its colossal foliage and remarkable stature contribute to a sense of tropical grandeur in gardens and landscapes, providing an impressive focal point and evoking a feeling of lush, exotic beauty in any setting fortunate enough to accommodate it.  Zones 8-11 Germination To germinate Musa si
