Planting of pepper trees is now much reduced because there is no such thing as pepper wood. In this study using kepok banana fiber ( paradisiaca forma typical ) because it is a resource that can be renewed and cultivated. This study uses the RSM method and aims to determine the ability of banana tree fiber as a support for pepper plants against tensile strength and inpack strength at the beginning of manufacture and 3 month, Examining the effect of pepper growth on the composite banana tree uphold and knowing the effect of its upholding surface against the attached pepper root. Tensile test results at 0 months averaged 33.926 MPa while the following 6 months there was a decrease of an average of 31.22 MPa. Means tensile strength will decrease as the age of the composite increases. Impact test results at 0 months an average of 65.4824 kJ per square m, the next 6 months there was an average decrease of 65.2824 kJ per square m. It means that the impact strength does not decrease significantly as the age of the composite increases.
