Descripción
In many parts of the world bananas are a staple food, while in other regions they are a highly valued ornamental plant.
Bananas are the fourth most important food crop in the world, and they are also used in many other ways—every part
of the plant has value. In addition to the standard dessert bananas, there is another group of species in the banana genus
that are much less known in the United States but offer some wonderful options as landscape plants. This group
of banana species is known as ornamental bananas. This paper sheds some light on ornamental banana cultivars that
provide a tropical atmosphere to gardens in the Southeast region of the United States.
