Big leaves, bold shape, instant holiday.
Nothing says relaxed, tropical living quite like a banana tree. At 180cm, this one brings that laid-back, resort-style energy straight into your home — two stems rising side by side, one wrapped in rich, fibrous brown bark and one smooth and fresh green, before unfurling into a generous crown of broad, paddle-shaped leaves.
The leaves are the showpiece. Long and sweeping, each one carries a strong central rib and fine parallel ribbing across its surface, with the soft natural splits along the edges that real banana leaves are known for. They arch and curl outward at every height — some reaching high, others falling low and wide — in layered tones of deep green and bright, sunlit lime.
At 180cm it's full-sized without feeling heavy: tall enough to fill an empty corner with genuine presence, open and airy enough to keep a room feeling light. The kind of plant that makes a space feel warmer, greener and a little more like summer all year round.
Why you'll love it
🌴
Oversized tropical leaves
Broad, sweeping paddle leaves with a defined central rib, fine surface ribbing and natural edge splits — the unmistakable foliage of a true banana tree.
🪵
Realistic twin stems
One stem finished in textured, fibrous bark, the other smooth and green — the natural contrast that gives this tree its convincing, just-grown character.
🍃
Layered, lifelike colour
Deep green leaves mixed with brighter lime-toned new growth, arranged at varied heights — natural variation that holds up close and in photographs.
✨
Zero maintenance
No watering, no browning leaf edges, no humidity to manage. All the lush tropical look of a banana tree, exactly the same in year ten as on day one.
Perfect for
Living room corners and open-plan spaces that want a relaxed, coastal or tropical feel. Entryways and hallways needing height and a warm first impression. Bedrooms and home offices styled with natural textures, rattan and linen. Cafés, salons and hospitality spaces wanting a resort-style statement with none of the upkeep.
Pot not included. For a 180cm banana tree we recommend a pot 30–38cm in diameter and 30–40cm tall to balance the wide, spreading canopy. A ribbed white or natural-textured pot — as shown — keeps the look fresh and coastal. Browse our
pots and vases collection.
Styling tip — Give this tree plenty of width — the leaves spread generously, so it looks best in a corner or beside a sofa where it can arch out freely rather than pressed against furniture. After unboxing, take 10–15 minutes to bend each leaf stem outward and angle the leaves at different heights and directions, letting a few fall low for a natural, relaxed shape. Pair it with woven baskets, timber and soft neutrals, and finish the pot with dried moss or coir for a polished tropical look.
