Common Name: Japanese Banana

Banana plants are fast growing and can get very tall in just one season. Their stems are made up of many compacted leaf stalks that are not woody. This makes them one of the largest growing herbs available. They are also a good food source for several butterfly species and they generally need 1-2 years of continual warm temperatures to produces flowers and fruit.
