Today, we highlight another popular plant at our campus market, Rudy’s Happy Patch. The broad leaves of the Red Banana plant easily catch the eye

“We are selling these Red Banana plants at a fast pace,” says market manager Steve Thompkins. “They are leaving two at a time. Customers tell me they plan to put them on each side of their entry doors to welcome visitors. We have sold many to out-of-town customers. The Town House Inn in Buena Vista was an early customer. (See our previous post on the Town House.) I hope we have enough for this booming market.”

In the photo above, stately broadleaf Red Banana plants stand out in the busy market.
