Banana Tree

This tree produces clusters of bananas. The fruit typically grows in bunches known as "hands," with each hand containing multiple individual fruits. It is a tropical marvel revered for its lush and dramatic appearance and its role in providing shade, aesthetics, and a sense of exoticism to gardens and landscapes.

Size shipped: 3-4" Plug starter plant.

Although it is called a Banana Tree, this is a misnomer as it is actually a large plant. Regardless, having one on your property can offer a variety of benefits for yourself, your neighbors, and wildlife in the area.

What the Banana Tree Typically Looks Like

This type of plant can grow to be up to 30 feet tall, although it's possible to obtain varieties that are much smaller. They can also grow to be about 15 feet wide, depending on the type of species that you decide to grow. They will first flower in the spring, which creates green leaves on the stem, and those leaves are what will eventually bear the fruit that you are so familiar with.

Banana Tree Is a Fast-Growing Plant

Another potential benefit of this product is that it doesn't take a lot of time to go from a sprout to a fully grown tree. Typically, you can plant it in the spring and expect to have fruit at some point in the fall. Even if you aren't buying it for the fruit, it can be an ideal addition to your property for the color and stability it can provide to the soil and overall landscape.

Banana Tree Needs a Lot of Water

During the growing season, they will often soak up a significant amount of water. Therefore, it can be an ideal solution to keep flooding to a minimum during the rainy season. It can also be ideal if flooding is caused by the fact that your property is in a valley where water naturally drains after any type of rain event.

Some Banana Trees Can Be Kept Indoors

Certain versions of this tree are small enough that they can be grown or kept indoors after they have fully matured. The Musa ornata is one of the most famous types of ornamental banana plants, and it is treated more like a houseplant than something that will produce anything edible. While it is capable of producing small fruits, they are not meant to be used by people or animals.
