{"product_id":"artificial-banana-tree-5-ft-detachable-trunk-black-pot","title":"Artificial Banana Tree — 5 ft, Detachable Trunk with Black Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eA faux banana tree (\u003cem\u003eMusa\u003c\/em\u003e) in a black pot, one size at 60 in (5 ft). Plastic construction, 5 kg in weight, with a detachable, colour-coded trunk that makes it unusually easy to ship, move and store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA banana tree is bought for scale — the leaves are the largest of almost any plant most rooms can take. A live \u003cem\u003eMusa\u003c\/em\u003e earns that scale by demanding very high light and humidity, and its leaves shred along the ribs as it grows, which is normal on the plant but reads as damaged in a living room; it also grows quickly enough to outgrow most rooms and rarely survives a second Canadian winter indoors. That is the practical case for buying a faux one at this size instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is plastic throughout, with an item weight of 5 kg, a black pot included, and a trunk that ships in sections and assembles by matching colour-coded arrow stickers. The detachable design is a genuine convenience — the trunk comes apart for shipping and storage rather than travelling as one rigid piece, which also makes this tree far easier to relocate than most at its height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the exact dimensions and materials?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 in (about 152 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTrunk construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetachable, multi-section trunk assembled by matching colour-coded arrow stickers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePot\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack plastic pot included; nursery pot dimensions 6 in wide by 6.8 in tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 kilograms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLeaf count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUV rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified — best suited to indoor use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlacement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatch colour-coded arrow stickers on the detachable trunk sections; easy to assemble, transport and store\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eArtificial banana tree, or a real one?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThis tree\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLive Musa (banana)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight and humidity required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery high light and humidity, hard to sustain through a Canadian winter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeaf condition over time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed, unchanging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShreds naturally along the ribs as it grows — normal on the plant, but reads as torn indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCost, year five\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNothing further\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsually replaced at least once\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransport and storage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetachable trunk sections, easy to transport and store\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA mature specimen is heavy, awkward and effectively immovable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter survival indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRarely survives a second Canadian winter indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe detachable trunk is a genuine practical advantage over a live plant if you move house or rearrange furniture often — a live banana tree at this scale is heavy and awkward to relocate, while this one breaks down into sections. If you actually want to watch a plant grow and change, only the live one offers that, at the cost of the light and humidity it demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tree ships as a detachable, colour-coded trunk in sections rather than one folded piece, so assembly is closer to matching parts than to hand-opening branches — follow the arrow stickers to align the sections, then work the leaves flat from the central rib outward the way any broad banana leaf needs, since they ship folded rather than open. Do this in a warm room: folded leaf material relaxes and opens far more easily at room temperature than straight out of a cold delivery vehicle. Budget twenty to thirty minutes in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the box arrives, check that every colour-coded trunk section is present and give the pot a once-over before you unpack fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is this banana tree made of, and how much does it weigh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is plastic and the item weight is 5 kilograms — relatively light for a floor-height tree, which the detachable, multi-section trunk design helps explain. A lighter tree is easier to knock over than a cement-weighted one, so if you have pets or small children in the room, place it somewhere it will not get bumped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the detachable trunk work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trunk ships in sections, each marked with a coloured arrow sticker, and assembly is a matter of matching the stickers so the sections line up correctly. It is easy to assemble, transport and store — a real advantage if you move or rearrange furniture often, since a live banana plant at comparable height is heavy and difficult to relocate. One note for family homes: a trunk designed to come apart can also be pulled apart by a determined toddler, so place it accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I put it outside?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep this one indoors. For a porch or patio spot with direct sun, choose a tree from our range with an explicit UV rating instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a pot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, a black plastic pot is included, along with an inner nursery pot measuring 6 in wide by 6.8 in tall that the trunk sections seat into. For a more finished look, the whole tree can also sit inside a larger decorative planter of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eververda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234554458348,"sku":"EV-BAN-0622","price":489.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5263\/9980\/files\/hf_20260830_231538_ad09f7e5-7ee8-4702-9f52-29d03c9b3232.png?v=1788133761","url":"https:\/\/checkout.eververda.com\/products\/artificial-banana-tree-5-ft-detachable-trunk-black-pot","provider":"Eververda","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
