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!

lovely plant, holding up well so far
arrived in fairly decent condition and improved once planted. Looking great now and I have every expectation that it will continue to grow well in it's current spot.
Abyssinian Banana
It was a little more expensive than I should have paid. In my research of the plant, I found out that Lowes n HD sell it for about $30 in my area. Otherwise it was a healthy plant when it arrived in well done packaging.
Love it!
It looked like it was struggling when first arrived but I potted it quickly and now it’s doing great!
Great looking banana leaf tree
Looks great! Came with a few torn/dead leaves but transferred easily and is now thriving shortly after! I would highly recommend.
