I am currently growing Basjoo banana in zone 6 for the past 4
years. Every spring I look forward to see this banana tree popping
out of the ground. It grows a clump of around 10 pups with the
largest pup growing up to 10'-12' at the end of summer. I never
got it to bloom and set fruit. A local nursery grows them in a
large container, and keep them in the greenhouse in winter,
allowed them to fruit in a 2 growing seasons.

In the fall the tree dies to the ground when the freeze arrives.
Normally I will cut out the dead sump and cover it with mulch.
This year I left it unprotected to test the hardiness.

Here's a photo of it:
