Ravenala madagascariensis - Traveller's Palm

I tried planting this once but it didn't survive, maybe because the soil was too dry then.

Panther:

I'm sure you've seen how large these plants can grow...especially when they develop their trunks.

These plants love water, however, tolerate quite a dry period with no ill effect.
They like full Sun...these trees would be much larger if they were growing in full Sun. And their very large leaves tear easily from the wind.

Yes Delonix I have seen how large these plants can grow, thanks for the info, I will try planting one of these someday and I hope it grows.

Panther:

If you know someone who has a large plant...you can take side shoots and they root easily.

I will.....possibly the large plant! :-)

Panther:

I'm sure in you beautiful tropical climate it will do well.
