| Botanical Name | Michelia figo var. skinneriana |
| Description | The Skinneriana Banana Shrub is a more upright and faster-growing variety of the classic Banana Shrub, making it perfect for the Houston metro area landscape. This 3-gallon (3G) evergreen produces small, inconspicuous creamy-yellow flowers edged in purple that pack an incredible tropical punch—smelling exactly like ripe bananas. It features glossy, narrow green foliage and thrives in our humid climate. It is ideal as a fragrant hedge, a screen near a patio, or a specimen plant where its scent can be enjoyed. |
| Exposure | Partial Shade to Full Sun (prefers afternoon shade in Texas) |
| Height x Width | 10-15' Height x 6-10' Width |
| Water | Moderate; prefers well-drained, acidic soil. Consistent moisture is key during hot Houston summers. |
| Zones | 8 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acidic, slow-release fertilizer (like those for Azaleas or Camellias) in early spring. |
| Pruning | Minimal; prune after the spring bloom cycle to maintain shape or size if used as a hedge. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
