An Ornamental Banana with Great Cold-Hardiness
Why Red Abyssinian Banana Trees?
Add flair to your garden with the Red Abyssinian Banana Tree. This exotic tropical plant is a hardy variety that can withstand cooler temperatures with ease. Growing tall, with lush, tropical foliage, the Red Abyssinian Banana will add character and volume to your landscape, indoors or out.
Also called the Snow Banana, Red Banana or Ensete Banana Tree, this features huge leaves with unique red and green hues that will intensify in full sun. It’s ideal for growing zones 8-11, with a fast growth rate. And since it's not a true banana, the Red Abyssinian Banana Tree isn’t grown for edible fruit but rather as an ornamental plant.
Perfect when planted in the ground in warmer climates, or in a container in cooler areas, the Red Abyssinian Banana Tree will add lush, tropical looks wherever it's placed. It's ideal for patios, poolsides and other areas with full sun. Just be sure to move your Red Abyssinian Banana Tree indoors in the winter if you live in a zone colder than Zone 8.
If you’re looking to make a bold subtropical statement in your garden, the Red Abyssinian Banana Tree is the perfect choice. Get yours today!

Great size!
The trees actually came planted in 3 gal pots which made the price a fantastic deal. Have had them a week now and both are growing with next sets of leaves. I have been growing Banana trees for 10 years in Minnesota, first winter they did not come out of dormancy. I really worried I would not find good replacements but these are wonderful.
All good
Amazing shipping . Healthy tree. I will order from these guys again.
Beautiful addition to my landscaping.
My plant arrived in perfect condition and is doing quite well. I live in SW FL where everyone and his brother have all the same type of shrubs planted - boring. This banana tree is beautiful in color and adds a different texture and profile - very happy with it.
Excellent
The plants were in perfect condition.
