Elevate your landscape with the Red Cuban Banana, one of the most striking tropical banana trees available for home growers. This fast-growing, container-friendly variety is known for its red-tinged pseudostems, lush oversized foliage, and vibrant burgundy-skinned bananas—a true showpiece for edible landscapes, patios, and tropical-themed gardens.

Producing short, plump, sweet bananas with creamy, mildly tangy flavor, the Red Cuban Banana delivers both ornamental beauty and high-quality fruit. Dramatic purple bracts reveal fruit clusters, adding even more color and texture to this standout plant.

Perfect for growers in warm climates or gardeners who overwinter indoors, this cold-tolerant banana for containers thrives in pots and responds quickly to good care, making it ideal for beginners and collectors alike.

Fertilization Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts.
Watering Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods. Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center.

At Chestnut Hill Outdoors, we’ve been shipping mail order trees for over 30 years. We’re experts at delivering healthy trees to your doorstep. All of our trees are container grown in root-enhancing pots, ensuring healthy root systems and much better success upon planting.
