Hardy Banana
Siberian Larch Oasis

The Hardy Banana is a fast-growing evergreen perennial that dies down to the ground each year. A stunning tropical-looking accent for your yard and patio, the Japanese Fiber Banana can be overwintered outdoors in several northern U.S. states and southern Canadian regions. In northern regions, you can bring this plant inside and leave it in your garage. If you enjoy Mexican cuisine, you can use the leaves to make tamales.

The Siberian Larch 'Oasis' is perfect for shade in the summer and sunlight in the winter as it drops its needles in the fall. A dense deciduous conifer tree with an attractive oval shape and a strong central leader, this larch is perfect in a shelterbelt for protection in the summer and sunlight in the winter. The delicate and fine needle texture that makes it an attractive feature in landscaping projects and is show-stopping in the fall with foliage that turns gold.
