#ProPlantTips for Care:

Banana Tree care is simple, they need full sun for growing the most fruit, but can tolerate some partial shade. Be mindful that the Banana leaf tears easily and these large leaves do damage in storms and wind, so a protected area where they won’t be receiving the brunt of the elements is important to keep them looking fresh!

Full Sun to Part Shade
Consistently Moist, Fertile Soil
Very Good Drainage & Protection
Fast Growing
Heat Tolerant
