Musa 'Pisang Mas' - Lady Finger Banana

Pisang Mas bananas from South East Asia are considered by many the best in the world. They are small and very sweet, and rich yellow inside. It melts in the mouth as you taste it. It is quite different from many bananas since it belongs to the uncommon AA type.  Leaves are shiny and quite resistant to wind. The plant is semi-dwarf in stature and seldom goes above 4 m if in full sun and well "groomed".

Pisang Mas is a widespread cultivar from SE Asia and it has a lot of names: synonyms are: Kluai Khai (Thailand), Bocadito (Colombia), Lady Finger, Sucrier, etc.

Pisang Mas, as most AA bananas, loves heat and also loves to be replanted often. Clumps easily age after 4-6 years and do better if restarted-

What do we ship?

We ship a stout rooted sucker, not a potted plant. You will receive it with the corm wrapped in a bag with moist sphagnum or perlite.

In spring, suckers may not have roots. In this case, suckers are easy to root if temperatures are kept between 20 and 30 C.
