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.

Re: Looking Red Type Banana Plant Toronto
 

Red fruit or red leaves?

Re: Looking Red Type Banana Plant Toronto
 

Leaves.

Re: Looking Red Type Banana Plant Toronto
 

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.

The Banana Plants from Home Depot are Dwarf Cavendish Musa .

I am still on the hunt for the elusive Red Banana Plants.

Re: Looking Red Type Banana Plant Toronto
 

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 :)

Re: Looking Red Type Banana Plant Toronto
 

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.

Re: Looking Red Type Banana Plant Toronto
 

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?

I have basjoo(green), siam ruby,and red abbasynian(merelli) all over a foot tall if your interested. Im in winnipeg, so cross border isnt a big deal.PM me if anything interests you.

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.
