Discover the Traveller's tree
Ravenala madagascariensis has an unusual, symmetrical growth habit with impressively, large leaves arranged on long stalks like a flat fan. At a later stage, a stem is formed and the leaves look like an ornament. Ravenala is related to Strelitzia and this is reflected in its leaves. This beautiful Ravenala is native to Madagascar, where it grows in warm, humid forest areas, rainforests, swamps and along mountain slopes. As Ravenala can grow quite large, in cooler climates it is a great product to offer as a tub plant. In warmer, frost-free climates, Ravenala is very suitable for planting in parks and gardens. The common name Traveller’s Tree is said to be given because Ravenala would be a source of fresh drinking water for travellers, as water remains in the axils of the leaf stalks.
