Description: Dwarf Cavendish Banana PlantWhen heavy bunches of bananas are ripening, the Dwarf Cavendish Banana plants may require support, but the small effort is well worth the amazing harvest. Prop leaning, fruit-bearing banana stalks up using wooden stakes and cordage such as ¼-inch rope. The system need only be temporary until the fruit is harvested and the expired trunk removed. Dwarf Cavendish Banana trees grow smaller than their full-sized relatives, but the fruit they produce is the same size. A fully mature and ripe Cavendish Banana is 5 to 7 inches long (many grocery store bananas are Cavendish).When growing bananas at home, the bloom will emerge as a large flower from the growing crown of a mature tree or pseudostem. As the fruit matures, bananas form in groups called “hands”. Each banana tree grows fruit only one time. Once a single banana pseudostem grows a banana bunch, the fruit is removed and that trunk is cut down. Cut the pseudostem trunk off as low to the ground as possible. Compost the old tree and new stems will grow to make the next blooms.No edible garden in USDA Zones 8 to 11 would be complete without a stand of nutritious, delicious bananas. Even those gardeners in colder zones can grow Banana plants in pots and still harvest this favorite fruit. Either way, the Dwarf Cavendish Banana is an excellent choice for the home food grower. Dwarf Cavendish Banana plants reach heights of between 8 and 10 feet tall, and they can take temperatures as low as 20ºF. Dwarf Cavendish Banana Plants are easy to grow, add a tropical look to the garden, and produce pounds of full size, sweet fruit.Dwarf Cavendish Banana plants have deep green leaves that can be as wide as 18 inches and as long as 4 feet. The vivid green leaves have dark red streaks when young, and larger, older leaves become solid green. Dwarf Cavendish Banana plants perform best in full sun and like rich but drained soil. Dwarf Cavendish Banana plants grow a main stalk that lives until it bears fruit. The base of the plant, or psuedobulb, produces replacement stems that become the next fruit-bearing trunks. This perpetual replacement allows you to have new fruiting Dwarf Cavendish Banana plants for years, and perhaps indefinitely. !!!Damaged leaves or small branch breakage can be a normal part of the shipping process and does not affect the health of the plant.
