The broad leaves of the Red Jamaican Banana tree will block out noise and absorb nauseating fumes from automobiles. The banana bunches begin to develop fast on the Red Jamaican Banana tree in early Summer and grow into tasty treat for Fall snacks. The distinct red coloring of the mid-vein of the leaves and the trunk will give a pleasing color contrast in your garden landscape.
