Description
Homegrown banana bunches - Want to feel like you're at a tropical resort? Do you enjoy tasty bananas? Well, we have the perfect tree for you! Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree (Musa acuminata 'Dwarf Cavendish') is perfect for almost any size yard! It's attractive, compact, and produces petite bananas! Doesn't that sound a-peeling?
The Dwarf Cavendish is one of the most important varieties of Banana in the world today. Since the 1950s, the Dwarf Cavendish has made up the lion’s share of all Bananas sold.
This variety has become the variety that all others are compared to for flavor and adaptability. The Dwarf Cavendish produces Bananas that range in size from five inches to eight inches. It will produce a bunch of Bananas each year - up to 90 bananas, so be sure to share!
Planting and Application:
An immature Dwarf Cavendish Banana will have purple or red splotching on its smooth green leaves, that fades as it matures. When fully grown, it’s regal and attractive, with broad, shiny green leaves, and yellowish-green bark. You'll feel like you're in a tropical paradise!
Because of its easy-going nature and dwarf size, many choose to keep theirs in a container (this also keeps the plant smaller). This self-pollinating tree is perfect for patios or gardens. Keep beside your front or backdoor, so you can just reach out and pluck a snack.
- Compact dwarf - Mature trees produce up to 90 Bananas annually
- Easy to grow & self-fruitful
- Banana bread, pudding, Banana pancakes & eating fresh
- In colder climates, can be grown as a houseplant
- Pollinator-friendly when it blooms for other Banana varieties
