Product Description
A faux banana tree (Musa) at 147 cm (about 4.8 ft), one size, set in a tall white planter. A banana tree is bought for scale — its leaves are among the largest of almost any plant most rooms can take — and at 147 cm this one sits at the shorter end of what we'd still call a floor tree, tall enough to make a statement in a corner without needing a 9 ft ceiling.
The tall white planter is included with the tree, ready to place.

Artificial banana tree, or a real one?
| This tree | Live Musa (banana) | |
|---|---|---|
| Light and humidity required | None | Very high light and humidity — hard to sustain in most Canadian homes |
| Leaf condition | Fixed appearance | Leaves shred naturally along the ribs as the plant grows, reading as damage indoors |
| Cost, year one | One-time purchase | A young specimen, plus a pot |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Often replaced at least once |
| Growth | Fixed at 147 cm indefinitely | Grows quickly, often outgrowing the room within a season or two |
| Winter survival indoors | Not applicable | Rarely survives a second Canadian winter indoors |
The honest case for the live plant is that it keeps changing and growing, at the real cost of the light, humidity and winter risk described above.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
Banana leaves generally ship folded flat against the stalk and need working open by hand from the central rib outward. Budget fifteen to twenty-five minutes at this size, and do it in a warm room — folded PE opens more easily at room temperature than straight out of a cold delivery vehicle.
Inspect the white planter and the base of the stalk before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.
Who should not buy this?
- Direct outdoor sun. No UV rating applies to this tree; keep it indoors.
- Commercial fit-outs needing a full spec sheet. This product offers a stated height rather than detailed construction figures.
Common questions
How tall is this banana tree in feet?
147 cm, which works out to roughly 4.8 ft — tall enough to anchor a corner and read as a genuine plant, short enough to sit comfortably under an 8 ft ceiling with room to spare above the canopy.
Is this banana tree safe to put outside?
No UV rating applies to this tree, so we'd treat it as strictly indoor.
What does the planter look like?
A tall white planter, included with the tree.
