One of my favorites in Mt. Pleasant. It’s actually got two levels going on plus a beloved banana plant.


I think I tried to show this wild one in Mt. Pleasant before but it wasn’t in full effect. It is now officially in full effect.


On my last walkabout I noticed quite a few that had designs like these. Do you like this style with the rocks/gravel mixed in?


Here’s another great tree box but this one isn’t a banana tree – anyone know what type this is?


Found this one on Rock Creek Church Road near the Old Soldiers Home. Well I’m super psyched to see the banana trees I’m also digging the vines around the porch.


As previously noted, I’ve been on a quest to document all the great banana plants around town. Thanks to a reader for sending in this great specimen. He writes:

“Here are our two, in our backyard 400 block of Irving St NW. The mother died in the snow storms but not before giving birth to our twins!”
