For instant “jungle vibes,” nothing beats a Banana seedling. Technically an herb rather than a tree, it grows at a staggering rate, producing massive, fan-like leaves that create a lush canopy in a single season. Because they are mostly water, they have a thirsty appetite and require protection from high winds, which can shred their beautiful leaves. They also tend to “travel” by producing “pups” (offshoots) around the base, giving you a continuous supply of new plants and a self-sustaining tropical grove.
