Banana Silk Palm Trees

Where did the World's Most Popular Fruit Come From?

The banana's origin is found in the region of Malaysia. In fact, believe it or not, Alexander the Great is credited with bringing the banana from India to the Western world after relishing in his first taste of the unusual fruit he saw growing on tall trees. Today, you can replicate that tree and bring it indoors to enhance the decor in any home or office.

So Realistic!

The classic banana silk palm tree is virtually care-free and is a great way to add a tropical palm look and feel to your interior. Each is handmade with premium silk-screened polyester foliage and a durable fiberglass trunk with real banana tree bark for an authentic look. These artificial trees can feature anywhere from nine to 20 leaves on one or two stalks. Some plants sport green foliage that's enhanced with a yellow banana fruit bush and purple flower. Others actually have a realistic-looking banana pod with bananas sprouting out from the top stalk. Sizes can vary, but the most popular heights can be found in the 3 - 5 foot palm or 6 - 8 foot palm category. Most often displayed indoors, silk banana plants maintain their beauty when away from harsh winds and damaging UV light. Alexander the Great did us good when he introduced us to the banana tree. Now, we can not only enjoy its fruit but the beauty of its tree as well.
