Pretty yellow-green flowers are framed by foliage that doesn’t bleach over the winter. This shrub would be an excellent addition to a woodland themed garden.
This evergreen shrub, originating from the Southern United States is hardy in zones 7-9. Bananappeal is a great plant to use as a specimen for shade gardens, or in containers. This upright, mounded shrub has a natural rounded shape that adds structure and interest to your garden. A good plant for gardens that may host the occasional deer, as Illicium is deer resistant.
Bananappeal Anise Tree Care
Plant Bananappeal Anise Trees in full shade to part-sun. Water well after planting and until established, and then as needed. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in the spring. It prefers a good loose soil, but will do well in most soil conditions.
After blooming is the best time to prune the Illicium. Remove old wood or diseased stems to open up the shrub for increased air flow. This is also a good time to do any shape pruning.
Bananappeal Anise Tree Spacing
Bananappeal reaches 3-4 feet tall and wide, be sure to allow it the proper space it needs to stand out in your garden. To truly allow this shrub to shine in your garden, consider spacing them no closer than 4 feet apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
