Grow Delicious Bananas Indoors or Out!

Why Dwarf Cavendish Banana Trees?

Superfruit, right from home. That's what you'll get with the Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree. Bananas are ultra-healthful, packed with fiber, potassium calcium and iron, plus the good looks for a tropical-inspired tree.

Warmer climates enable vigorous growth when this tree planted in the ground, but because our Cavendish is uniquely dwarf-sized, it also thrives when it's container planted. Plus, it only matures to 8 to 10 feet in height, so you'll be able to transport it from the patio to your kitchen or sunroom with ease.

The Dwarf Cavendish means you'll have a tropical air in any space. The leaves of the Cavendish grow up to 4 feet long, are extremely lush, and provide shade and privacy. Young leaves may tinge with red while the majority of the leaves are a fresh green color for extra visual interest, complemented by sizable flowers that drop prior to the development of your delectable bananas.

I love it.

My plant arrived healthy and ready for planting. It came with clear instructions and recommendations. It is very evident that this company cares about their customers and their plants. I receive emails from them as if I adopted a pet and they are checking in. Right now, it's planted in a larger pot until it's settled for my climate. I have picked a spot in the ground in my backyard and already purchased everything I need to protect it. I look forward to growing with this new addition to my backyard.

Welcome to my jungle

Omg where to start!! I bought this and had hoped to get bananas. We eat a lot of bananas as a family if 5 with dogs and guinea pigs. Well, instead I had to keep separating the babies and I now have 7 trees and I think the original one I bought might finally be big enough to give fruit come spring! I’m excited! I couldn’t have expected better from this! I had bought 2 trees in this order the banana and the blue spruce. The blue spruce has since died but this banana is thriving!
