Musa acuminata
– Produces bananas at a small, manageable height!
– Provide well-drained soil, lots of water, and lots of fertilizer in warm weather
– Large leaves provide a lovely tropical look
Our employees have the best success with banana trees if they hook them up to irrigation, because they really love water. If you want fruit, be sure to protect your tree from frosts. Either way, this is a beautiful plant for those indoor jungle vibes we all crave.
