A tropical foliage plant with large paddle-shaped leaves, red-toned stems and an upright architectural form. 

This impressive young Banana Tree is supplied in a 3L pot at approximately 100–120 cm tall, providing an established plant with immediate visual impact. Its broad green leaves rise from a sturdy, trunk-like pseudostem, creating a dramatic feature for container displays and tropical planting schemes. Choose the standard nursery pot or one of five decorative planters to complement indoor, conservatory or patio displays. 

Banana plants are herbaceous perennials rather than true woody trees and are primarily grown in the UK for their spectacular ornamental foliage, as flowering and fruiting require sustained tropical warmth and a long, uninterrupted growing season. Cooler temperatures and shorter growing seasons mean fruit is rarely produced. Move container-grown plants to a bright, frost-free location before winter.
