Brandon Cedar
Hardy Banana

The Brandon Cedar is a columnar evergreen with soft, dense foliage that retains its bright green color all year round. It makes for a great vertical accent on your property or as part of a hedge, it is suitable for urban gardens due to its size and it is highly shade tolerant.

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.
