The Red Banana tree is a medium to large evergreen plant with large oar-shaped leaves. Those leaves range in color from light green, brown, purple, and red. It produces white flowers throughout the summer months.

The Red Banana tree is a popular selection if you are looking to add a tropical feel in your landscape or can even be planted as a centerpiece.

The Red Banana tree can grow up to 30 feet tall and 15 feet wide. Do not let the name and the size confuse you though - This is, in fact, a plant!

It does well in dry climates and thrives in full to partial sun but does need a good amount of space to flourish and soil with good drainage. These plants can survive drought conditions but are recommended that they get medium watering.

"This is one seriously cool plant. We had Moon Valley nursery bring out two of these and plant them in a courtyard at our home. The reddish color gives a high end exotic look to our space and we can't wait to be eating red bananas! "
