I brought it downstairs thinking it would appreciate the sun. Te jasmine didn't like the move, but the musa took off. Maybe a bloom this year.

It does and barely fits in the room. I have to skirt past it to do anything. Now and then I remove a leaf and wrap it around a fish before baking. Steams it with a gentle banana flavor. :-)

It is nice to have. I learned to use it in Mexico, wrapped around a red snapper. Amazing that this whole plant smells like a banana.

It's looking fantastic. Didn't ever think about the leaves' uses. :-)

Thank you David. It makes a wonderful flavor and seals in the steam. I'd never know without eating from a tropical menu. I've never been anywhere else where you'd just pull a leaf to seal up your food. :-)

:-) Be ready. This was just a little banana houseplant from Lowes and now its 4ft wide and tall. Needs its space. Feels tropical to make fish in banana. :-)
