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 a large plant. Regardless, having one on your property can offer various benefits for yourself, your neighbors, and wildlife in the area.
What the Banana Tree Looks Like
This type of plant can grow up to 30 feet tall, although it's possible to obtain much smaller varieties. They can also grow about 15 feet wide, depending on the type of species you decide to grow. They will first flower in the spring, creating green leaves on the stem, eventually bearing the fruit you are familiar with.
Banana Tree Is Fast-Growing
Another potential benefit of this banana tree is that it only takes a little time to go from a sprout to a fully grown one. 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 its color and stability to the soil and overall landscape.
During the growing season, they often soak 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 suitable if flooding is caused because your property is in a valley where water naturally drains after any rain event.
Banana Tree Can Be Kept Indoors
Certain versions of this type are small enough to be grown or kept indoors after fully matured. The Musa ornata is one of the most famous types of ornamental banana tree, and it is treated more like a houseplant than something that will produce anything edible. While it can make small fruits, they are not meant to be used by people or animals.
