Wild Banana

Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as the wild banana or giant white bird of paradise, is a species of banana-like plants with erect woody stems reaching a height of 7–8 m (23–26 ft), and the clumps formed can spread as far as 3.5 m (11 ft). Strelitzia nicolai is among the few plants which have been verified to contain the pigment bilirubin, which is usually found in animals.

Strelitzia nicolai belongs to the Strelitzia genus within the Strelitziaceae family. It performs reliably across temperate, subtropical zones in our experience.
