Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree

Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree

A compact banana that fits a regular backyard, the Dwarf Cavendish grows about 8 to 10 feet tall, much shorter than standard bananas. It produces sweet, flavorful, small-to-medium yellow bananas with smooth, soft flesh, and it’s one of the easiest ways to grow your own bananas at home.

This plant is self-fruitful, so one is all you need, and it works well in a large container or in the ground in warm areas. It loves full sun and warm weather, and a mature plant can handle a brief light freeze. Fruit develops about four to six months after the plant flowers.
