what type of banana tree is that along your fence - i have seen a few in our area but have not been able to find any infoon them »

Ami Saunders, MLA This is a red banana, Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii'. Red bananas are a wonderful ornamental tree for a tropical look in your garden. Check your climate zone for hardiness. Sunset Western Garden Book is one great resource for checking climate.
