Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree

The Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree is a real banana plant grown for its heavy crop of full-sized fruit. Properly grown you will harvest large bunches of bananas from your tree and enjoy properly-ripened bananas, not the artificial ripened fruit you find at the store. If you live in a warm area the Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree is an easy and attractive plant to grow in the garden to enjoy its tropical beauty and to harvest your own fruit. It needs a rich soil and plenty of water, as well as a warm, sheltered spot to grow in. It will very quickly grow from 5 to 9 feet in height with large leaves and create a wonderful tropical look in your garden. Remove the old stems at the ground once they have produced that bunch of bananas.

• Full-sized bananas on a dwarf plant

For indoor growing, use a large pot and a rich but well-drained potting soil. Make sure the pot has a drain hole and do not leave it standing in water. Plants can be grown indoors all year round if they receive lots of sun, or place them outside during the warmer months, when night temperatures are above 50 degrees. Bunches of fruit that form in summer will continue to ripen indoors, and are usually ready shortly after Christmas.
