The Abysinnian Banana is a palm-like Banana with a bottle-shaped trunk & a crown of huge green leaves 2-3m long with a bright crimson midrib. Occasionally it bears reddish-green flowers with dark red bracts & small banana-like fruit. This is a wonderful architectural plant that will add a touch of the tropics to your garden which will make your neighbours so envious! It is a tender perennial & is not hardy here in the UK (it will withstand only a light frost) so will need to be overwintered in a frost-free place. It will be worth it!! In Summer it can produce a huge leaf ever week! Very easy to grow from seed.
