Musa acuminata (Siam ruby) is a rare and incredibly beautiful red variety of the more common ornamental banana (Musa acuminata). Musa acuminata originally hails from Southeast Asia. Many of today's commercial bananas descend from this species. It is a fast-growing species that does not reach a great height (compared to other species). The leaves are large and green, and with sufficient light, they will take on a reddish sheen.

It can form flowers and subsequently bananas. However, the fruits are small and full of seeds, and therefore not suitable for eating. See also our other banana plants.
