Grow a Garden: How to Get the Legendary Banana
Sep-18-2025 PST
Introduced in the 2025 Easter Event as a mythical plant, the Banana quickly became a fan favorite. While it was first obtainable through the Exotic Seed Pack, it has since been reintroduced in later events, giving players new opportunities to add this tropical treasure to their gardens.
This guide covers everything you need to know about the Banana: how it looks, and how to obtain its seeds.
What Is the Banana Crop
The Banana plant is designed to be both visually appealing and practical. Here's a breakdown of its unique traits:
Seed Design: The Banana seed has a yellow-to-brown gradient, starting bright yellow at the base and fading to a darker brown at the top. It's easy to spot in your inventory compared to more common seeds.
Plant Appearance: The Banana grows into a tall, three-tiered tree with a stacked trunk. Each tier is slightly smaller than the one below it, ending in green stems that flatten into broad leaves of uniform width. This gives it a layered, tropical look.
Harvest Produce: A single Banana plant can produce up to five fruits per harvest, making it highly efficient. The fruits themselves look just like real-world bananas, except they are squared, giving them a fun, blocky aesthetic.
Because it's a multi-harvest crop, the Banana continues to produce over time. This makes it both a long-term investment and a steady source of fruit for trading or collection goals.
The Origins of the Banana Seed
When first released during the 2025 Easter Event, the Banana was classified as a mythical plant. Players could only acquire it through the Exotic Seed Pack, which offered a 38% chance of containing the Banana seed. This limited-time method made the crop rare and valuable in its early days.
Later, the Banana was reintroduced as part of the Summer Harvest Event, this time classified as a legendary crop and made available in the Seed Shop for direct purchase.
Previous Ways to Obtain the Banana Seed
Historically, players had two main ways to get their hands on the Banana:
Seed Shop – With only a 2.5% chance (1 in 40) of appearing in stock.
Price: 7,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 459 Robux.
Exotic Seed Pack – Offering a 38% chance of containing the Banana seed.
Both options required persistence. While the Exotic Seed Pack had better odds, it was limited to special events. The Seed Shop, on the other hand, was available more often but came with steep pricing and very low stock chances.
Current Ways to Obtain the Banana Seed
Even though the Easter event has passed, players still have several opportunities to secure this legendary seed:
1. Summer Traveling Merchant
The Traveling Merchant remains one of the most consistent sources of rare crops. The Banana seed has a 2.5% (1/40) chance of appearing in the merchant's stock.
Price: 7,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 459 Robux.
Because the Traveling Merchant rotates through items, checking regularly is crucial. Having the necessary Sheckles saved up ensures you won't miss the opportunity when it appears.
2. Exotic Seed Packs (Remaining Stock)
Any unused Exotic Seed Packs from past events still hold their original rewards. Since the Banana has a 38% drop chance from these packs, opening any leftover ones could be your fastest path to acquiring it.
Farming and Trading Tips for Banana Hunters
If you're actively trying to add the Banana to your list of Grow a Garden Items, here are some strategies:
Always Keep 7,000 Sheckles Ready: Since the merchant can surprise you with the Banana at any time, it's wise to keep this amount saved in Grow a Garden Sheckles.
Check the Traveling Merchant Daily: Consistency pays off. The more you check, the higher your odds of catching the 2.5% seed stock.
Open Exotic Packs Strategically: If you've got old Exotic Seed Packs, open them one at a time to maximize suspense and spread out your chances.
Trade Smartly: If you obtain extra Banana fruits or seeds, consider trading with other players who are chasing the crop. Bananas often fetch high-value trades.
Final Thoughts
The Banana is one of the shining jewels of Grow a Garden. With its layered trunk, broad leaves, and quirky squared fruits, it's as fun to look at as it is rewarding to harvest. Though rare, it remains obtainable through the Traveling Merchant or unused Exotic Seed Packs, giving every dedicated player a chance to grow their own tropical treasure.
Whether you're after steady profits in Grow a Garden Sheckles or want to showcase a collection of standout Grow a Garden Items, the Banana is an investment worth pursuing. With patience, persistence, and a bit of luck, this legendary crop can become the crown jewel of your garden.
