HARDY BANANA TREE SALE $20 (Reg. $25-$45) These are gorgeous, eye-catching with either all green or red leaf varieties available. Photo taken July 22, 2026
Give your patio or deck an instant tropical feel! These have been propagated from ones grown here on Phil’s Farm for the last 10+ years; they're the hardiest banana tree variety. If you grow them in containers and bring them indoors or under shelter for winter they keep their full growth for the next year. Planted in the ground, they are an ornamental perennial in cold winters, reemerging every spring. (You may keep the height from year-to-year by wrapping and mulching them in fall.) Hardy Bananas grow well in full sun to partial shade. In our area of Portland they occasionally had only had very, very tiny bananas; they need a warmer, more sheltered environment to produce full sized fruit. We love the trees for their beauty and their tropical ambiance. Musa ‘Basjoo’ USDA Zones 5-11 Rhizomes hardy to -10˚F

With 3 times more antioxidants than blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries, Maqui (Chilean Wineberry) is an especially beneficial fruit. Its taste is deeper and richer than blackberry or elderberry, sometimes described as a creamy yet tangy red raspberry-like flavor. Chilean Wineberries may be enjoyed fresh, dried, juiced, used to make jam, tea & other beverages, or fermented to make wine. The small tree (or tall bush) is cold-hardy, usually maturing 10 to 12 feet tall. Maqui is self-fertile; its pale yellow male and female flowers bloom in late spring, and berries ripen from late summer to early autumn. It is evergreen in most Portland areas. A row of Maqui makes an effective fruiting hedge – it is a unique addition to home gardens. Aristotelia chilensis USDA Zones 7-10
