Awarded the RHS Garden Merit, it thrives in full sun or dappled shade and is perfect for patios or gardens seeking a dramatic tropical statement. Hardy in mild climates, it can be container-grown and easily overwintered indoors, making it a versatile and eye-catching architectural plant. ## Description An eye-catching plant. The hardiest which will survive outdoors in mild areas. Protected through winters it is able to reach heights of 4-5 meters in 5-10 years. Its thick, paddle-shaped leaves fan out from the stem in a fountain shape, becoming a large multi-stemmed clump. In summer it produces spikes of creamy-yellow flowers which are pedant. Although small bananas can appear in maturity of this plant these are inedible and it is usually grown as an attractive architectural plant. Throughout the summer it will grow in height, with new leaves unfurling almost every week. If you wish to restrict the growth, grow in a large container or pot. Create a tropical touch to your garden with this jungle-like dynamic feature; grow as a specimen plant in the middle of a lawn for a spectacular focal point, or position on a patio or courtyard which can then be easily brought in to a greenhouse or conservatory for overwintering. Plant in a sheltered position with a south-facing aspect, in full sun or dappled shade. Grow in well-drained but moist sand, chalk or loam soil with a nitrogen-rich fertilize and plenty of humus. It prefers a slightly acidic soil. Although it is a perennial the top will die down in winter and will need some protection. Mulch the ground heavily to protect the roots (it will grow back from the roots even if the stem is killed off in the winter). Keep well watered during the summer heat and feed with extra nitrogen to sustain massive leaves. Cut the flowering spikes off after they finish blooming.

And could I store in my greenhouse over winter** A: Unfortunately I can’t give an answer, as all three of mine died at the first sign of frost. They are supposed to be frost hardy, but to be doubly safe, I moved mine into the greenhouse well before any frost arrived, however to no avail, the very first frost of the year killed them all. **Q: Indoor or outdoor plant? Thank you.** A: Outdoor plant but can be brought indoors in Winter. Best outside and protected in winter as it will get big. **Q: 2 plants supplied?** A: It was when I purchased them, they came in 2 9cm pots. Very good value. **Q: What do i do about the mesh around the root? do i remove when i repot?** A: No leave it it will rot aesy ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s was bigger than i expected *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 May 2026* Very healthy plant it’s already grown two more leaves, I’m very happy, it’s arrived in good condition , i have bought from this seller before a couple of years ago ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thriving with Beautiful Growth and Resilience *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 July 2024* I recently bought some banana plants and I must say, they are thriving beyond my expectations. The plants were delivered well-packaged and in healthy condition, without any significant transit damage. On arrival, they were a bit smaller than I anticipated, but they have been growing steadily. After repotting them, they have adapted well and continue to produce luscious green leaves. They particularly love sunlight and have been sprouting new leaves frequently.While one of my plants did arrive slightly damaged, I believe it was more due to handling during delivery rather than the supplier’s fault. With a bit of care, it quickly bounced back. The other plants have shown remarkable growth, adding a charming tropical touch to my garden. Although a few leaves initially looked a bit dry, regular watering and feeding have done wonders.Overall, despite minor setbacks, these banana plants have been a lovely addition to my garden. They offer great value for money, particularly considering their growth and resilience. I'm genuinely pleased and would definitely consider buying more in the future. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy with my purchase *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 July 2023* One arrived broken, not due to the seller but due to the delivery driver. Clear instructions on the box on which way up it should be but it had been mishandled in the post.However, the broken one is thriving and is rewarding me with a new leaf every 10 days. The other is not doing so well but has come back to like after being re-ported.Really pleased - good quality plants. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tropical Fruit Musa Basjoo Japanese Banana Palm Exotic Upright Evergreen Plant Yellow Flowers Ideal for Patio Pots and Containers 2 x 10.5cm Pot by Thompson and Morgan (2 x 10.5cm Pot) - Dicksonia Antarctica - Tree Fern - Plant in 2 L Pot --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/51757796-tropical-fruit-musa-basjoo-2-x-10-5cm-pot-japanese](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/51757796-tropical-fruit-musa-basjoo-2-x-10-5cm-pot-japanese) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
