The genus to which the banana belongs to is made up of about 40 different species of evergreen perennials. Some of these tropical-looking plants can stand a coldish winter but most need protection in our climate.

Often thought of as a Caribbean fruit, the cultivated banana (heritage incredibly complicated and very mixed) was introduced there by the Portuguese in 1516 and weren’t widely available until refrigerated cargo ships appeared in the early 1900s.

M. basjoo or Japanese banana is a favourite in our gardens as it can survive in the cold. It has been as a source of fibre for textiles and paper in the past.
