Giant Banana Plant
Category: Garden Novice | Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 6:27 pm I asked my daughter to buy a banana plant to put in the back garden next to my other two. These are the dark purple leafed plants - very pretty. I had been getting them for around $6.00 at our local garden center. So Angie, my daughter, brings me a 5' tree and tells me I owe her $28.00! It's beautiful and is sitting on the porch until I can get hubby to plant it in the back garden. It's going to dwarf the other two. I also want to get several Agave to go back there.

You must post some photographs of your banana tree once it's in place Eileen. I wish I could grow such exotic trees here in Scotland.
I lived in Germany for awhile and I couldn't grow anything exotic. Coming from Florida, it was frustrating but I did find plants there that I loved and adapted to my garden. Sometimes you can find tropical looking plants that will grow in cold climates.
I remember doing something similar. My mother sent me off to check for a specific kind of Rhododendron, and she was flabbergasted when I came home with one. I hope your banana tree grows well for you!
Enjoy your tree, GN;
