Hi, there!

It's not a banana plant, but does anyone know what species of tree strelitzia it is in the photo?

Best regards,
Tobias

I would guess it is a white flowered one due to the very wide leaves - the orangy one has narrow leaves. Strelitzia nicolai – white bird of paradise
Strelitzia reginae - orangy bird of paradise
White one gets huge (12' and up!) and hard to flower here, orangy one max 5' or so and relatively easy to get to flower. the nicolai makes a major statement :-)
