Pat's Secret Garden Banana Tree(s)

This little (soon to be over 10' tall!) tropical plant is a nonedible but winter hardy banana tree. It add's to the Mexican ambiance of Pat's Secret Garden. After purchasing it we found two more younger versions like it at the Dawes spring plant sale and planted them nearby. We have just discovered that the big tree has a developing offshoot tree bringing to a total of 4 10' tropical trees in a 3' circle! This soon then could become a tropical forest!
Keep watching for developments!

WHAT A GORGEOUS PLANT! IT DOES MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A BEAUTIFUL TROPICAL RAINFOREST. AND LIL PINE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL IN THAT COLBALT BLUE POT. IT LOOKS LIKE MOM'S SECRET GARDEN IS DEFINITELY COMING ALONG. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DEVELOPMENTS TO COME.

I was wondering what tropicality this was! I had a baby palm tree once but our cat ate it after Ian was born. The cat wasn't with us much longer after that...
