Plant Sizing Guide

The Banana Zebrina is a distinctive and ornamental banana plant. It is recognized for its striking red or maroon-streaked pseudostems (stems that resemble a trunk) that give it a visually appealing zebra-like pattern, thus the name Zebrina. This banana plant is part of the Musa acuminata species and typically grows to a moderate height. The large, tropical-looking leaves are green with red midribs and can add a dramatic touch to garden landscapes. While it produces bananas, they are usually inedible due to the ornamental nature of the plant. Banana Zebrina is often cultivated for its unique aesthetic qualities and is well-suited for tropical or subtropical climates.
