YouGarden Exotic Large Leaf Hardy Banana Plant, Musa basjoo, Suitable for UK Gardens, Established Plant in 9cm Pot, Approximately 30cm Tall, Banana Plant for Outdoors, Outdoor Palm for Your Garden

I received a lovely healthy plant, well packaged and delivered on time. Mmm I thought when I saw it, it’s a bit small, anyway potted it up in some good quality compost added in Some fertiliser beads watered it and waited. From about 5th day onwards my little plant started behaving like Jack's beanstalk! It grew very quickly into a lovely healthy plant it looks great amongst my fatsias, ferns, grasses, bamboos and rhododendrons very tropical at very small cost, the plant was now over 3ft tall when disaster struck! The flaming'' little beastie ants decided they loved the plant as much as I did, (this is not the fault of the seller). I used sticky bandage to stop the ants crawling up and I cleaned off those on the plant leaves and stem hopefully it will be OK, it suffered some leaf damage 😡is now wrapped in a fleece over wintering in my potting shed and I feel confident that we will have a good plant next spring. I am definitely going to order more and different species to mix in with my plants around my wildlife pond to achieve a tropical look.

Healthy young plant arrived safely packaged and in excellent condition.

The plant is great and is growing well despite being a bit battered and damaged in transit... the plant was folded inside the box which was as shame as it caused damage to the leaf bit embarrassing to give as a gift but just had to explain the issues but thankfully there has been a new leaf starting to grow.The plant is smaller than I thought it would be but it is doing really well in the position it has been put in and I look forward to it growing to a substantial size so that it produces fruit.The leaf that is growing is really pretty and a nice plant to look at despite it just being a green leaf.Beware of the slugs and snails as they like to have a much on the stem so I had to do emergency protective measures around the base to try and protect it.. but this could be due to the amount of slugs and snails about this growing season.

Arrived on time absolutely amazing health size was amazing quality and appearance was on top plant health perfect

no idea if this plant will recover from being extremely pot-bound. i have teased out the compacted root system and replanted. but after two weeks, it’s not doing anything. i think it’s probably been stunted. anyway, fingers crossed.

The banana plant arrived with damage to some of the leaves, but what can you expect with buying plants online...they're not going to be perfect after travel.I potted it and put it outside but further damage occurred in high winds! However, I've brought it inside into the sunroom and given it some TLC and it's getting stronger with new growth.It's not very red though which is a little disappointing as I was expecting more colour for when I do put it back outside in a border.Update...it recovered well, was put outside and was big and strong. I cut it back a fair bit to bring it in for the winter, it's now March and it will go out in a sheltered location when it warms up. I love it.

Very healthy plant, already grown another leaf in a week.

very good
