Here's an ornamental red leaf bananna I've got growing. The corner of the house is about 25 ft. off the ground, to give you some idea of size. This guy's 2 yrs old, and again don't remember the variety. We had a red bananna in the same spot for 3 years, but dug it out because it was getting too big. I wish I knew the name of this variety, because it's well behaved and seems more resistant to wind damage than any other bananna I've grown. That corner of the house faces an open mile of river and marsh, and gets hellacious winds all day long.
