Musa velutina (Pink Banana)
$45.00
Musa velutina (Pink Banana) pups for sale.
Shortly after they ripen, they split open. The leaf sheaths overlap to form a trunk-like pseudostem. Each pseudostem has a limited lifespan. It only lives as long as it takes it to flower and produces fruit. After flowering and fruiting, the pseudostem dies, but the roots push out new shoots (banana pups) which form new pseudostems.
Cold-hardy, Musa velutina (Pink Banana) is a dwarf, suckering evergreen perennial boasting paddle-shaped, dark green leaves, 3 ft. long (90 cm). Arching spikes of cream to yellow flowers adorned with showy pink-red bracts appear in summer.
They are followed by bright, velvety, pink bananas that contain numerous black seeds and creamy white flesh. While edible, these bananas are so seedy that they are not worth the trouble to eat.

Description
This small banana plant is typically used in the landscape for its ornamental appeal and highly decorative fruits. Evergreen in frost-free areas, Pink Banana will die to the ground in cold winter areas, returning in the spring.
- Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
- Grows up to 5-7 ft. tall and wide (150-210 cm).
- Performs best in full sun in humus-rich, well-drained soils. Best growth occurs with consistently moist soils that do not dry out. Banana trees do not do well in drought conditions since they need to be watered often for proper growth. Shelter from the wind to prevent the leaves from being damaged. Fertilize plants regularly during the growing season.
- A great choice for containers or Mediterranean gardens where it will proudly stand out.
- Disease free. Keep an eye out for glasshouse red spider mite, mealybugs, and aphids.
- Propagate by seed or divide established clumps
- Native to India.

RARE Strelitzia parvifolia var. juncea – Reed or Leafless Bird of Paradise
PLEASE NOTE: Once they fully mature they will just be a reed type stem with no leaf. (Seeds were pollinated in Te Puke, Bay of Plenty)
Strelitzia Juncea, also known as the Leafless Bird of Paradise, is a stunning choice for dry garden landscaping and adds a dramatic touch to tropical gardens with its striking blue, upright, rush-like foliage and spectacular flowers in both spring and autumn.
Unlike its relative, Strelitzia Reginae, Strelitzia Juncea is less prone to wind damage due to its lack of paddle leaves, which reduces wind resistance.
This plant looks fantastic when planted en masse in mid-level garden positions, reaching an eventual height of about 1.5 meters.

Water plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist to avoid a feast or famine approach. The frequency you need to water the plant will depend upon the room temperature. In summer it could be as often as once a week in summer and fortnightly in winter. Indoor Plants need light to create their energy and survive, so if a plant isn’t getting enough light it’ll exhibit some tell-tale signs, look out for pale growth and weak flowering. If your plant shows these signs move it to somewhere that has more light.Most indoor house plants originate from sub-tropical rainforests where humidity can be as high as 100 per cent.
