## Description

The Golden African Banana Plant is sold under different names, such as Giant African or Gold Rhino Horn. The origins of this banana are most likely of the Ivory coastal region of African and it is assumed was brought to the Americas via slave ship, but no one really knows. Nonetheless, the large fruits are deliciously sweet, and the tree grows a beautiful 20 feet tall. The Golden African Banana Plant is an excellent banana selection and is very cold tolerant.
