Default Looking Red Type Banana Plant Toronto
I am looking for one of the Red Type Banana plants as they look beautifull. In the Toronto area would be a plus.

Well, there is Siam Ruby (non-edible fruit), or an Ensete of some sort.

Welcome to the newsletter. I'm new here, too, and I'm still looking for particular types of banana plants. I live in Campbell River, on Vancouver island, and here, Canadian Tire has red-leaved banana plants for sale for around $30. for a 3 foot plant. Maybe they sell them in T.O. as well! Good luck!

I have been to the local Canadian Tire and there is nothing as of yet. Plus they are pricey. I picked up Banana Trees at Home Depot a few days ago for 3.99. I am still uncertain what type of trees they are.

I was at Sobys ( queensway ) today and they had Musa Ensete for $7.99. The plants are about a foot high.


This is getting out of hand with the banana trees, I now have 9 plants

just................ ONE more plant to make it an even 10. My wife is sick of going with me to stores looking for Banana trees


My last plant that I would like is an Ice Cream.


So, if anyone sees an Ice Cream in the Toronto area let me know.

It's probably not going to be easy to find where you live given that red varieties tend to be cold tender. Maybe look at a specialized nursery?

Hey, I'm in around the GTA They have some plants at lowes and Ensete ventricosums at Home depot here. Once upon a time I found my first basjoo at Metro(dominion). But as far Ice cream, very unlikely to find here.

All my Plants except 3 came from online.

There are some good reputable sellers on ebay. Most offer tissue culture plants and their cost are fairly inexpensive. We have gotten over a dozen and all were what was described and arrived in good condition. Good luck.
