Siberian Larch vs Hardy Banana
Larix sibirica
Musa basjoo
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
Siberian Larch is a large, cold hardy conifer. Like the Tamarack, its needles turn golden yellow and drop in the fall, and it is able to handle saturated soils.
If you are looking for a long-lived tree for your large property or shelterbelt with quite wet soil, this is the tree for you.
This variety is often used on the south side of a shelterbelt to let sunlight in during the winter and to provide protection or shading during the summer.
The Hardy Banana is a fast-growing evergreen perennial that dies down to the ground each year. A stunning tropical-looking accent for your yard and patio, the Japanese Fiber Banana can be overwintered outdoors in several northern U.S. states and southern Canadian regions. In northern regions, you can bring this plant inside and leave it in your garage. If you enjoy Mexican cuisine, you can use the leaves to make tamales.
