    • Distinctive Foliage: The Red Abyssinian Banana Tree boasts large, paddle-shaped leaves that display a beautiful deep green on top with vibrant red undersides. These contrasting colors create an exotic and eye-catching centerpiece in any landscape or garden setting.
    • Growth Habit: Reaching heights of up to 8–10 feet, this banana tree adds vertical interest and tropical charm to gardens and patios. It’s a statement plant that thrives in the right environment, making it a unique addition to any outdoor space.
    • Non-Edible Fruit: While the Red Abyssinian Banana Tree can produce banana-like fruits, they are ornamental and not for consumption. The small fruits add an extra layer of intrigue, enhancing the plant's decorative appeal without the need for harvesting.
    • Light: This plant flourishes in full sun to partial shade. Ensure it receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. Temperature: Ideal growth occurs in temperatures above 60°F. Protect the plant from frost by moving it indoors or to a sheltered location during colder months.
    • Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot weather. Regular watering is essential to maintaining the lush foliage. Soil: It prefers well-draining, fertile soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. Pruning: Prune away any dead or damaged leaves to encourage healthy new growth and maintain its stunning appearance.

    Testimonials

    "Came in perfect condition--thank you!"

    Natalie

    "Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."

    Matthew

    "This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"

    Nathaniel

    "Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"

    Trisha

    "This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
