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.

Beautiful tree

I love this little tree. It is doing extremely well in the well lit room where I keep it.

Amazing Growth

The first leaves died back after planting and I was worried but it has since bounced back very strong with 8 leaves in as many weeks and two pups burgeoning!

Diseased and Broken

I had high hopes for the Dwarf Cavendish Banana Trees I purchased, but my experience was incredibly disappointing. After a frustrating ordeal with a diseased peppercorn plant (and broken orange tree) from this company, which arrived in poor condition and eventually died despite their advice to “wait and let it grow,” I reluctantly used the store credit they issued to order two Banana Trees. Unfortunately, these trees arrived in equally bad shape, showing the same disease symptoms as the peppercorn—broken leaves, wilted appearance, and overall poor health. They looked nothing like the vibrant, healthy plants advertised. The company’s customer service is a nightmare. Their “30 days and thrive” guarantee sounds great on paper, but in practice, they drag their feet, urging you to wait indefinitely for the plants to recover. When they finally acknowledge the issue, they’re conveniently out of stock, forcing you into a store credit loop that keeps you buying more of their subpar products. This feels like a deliberate tactic to avoid proper refunds or replacements. This company’s lack of accountability is infuriating. I’m done with them. If you’re considering ordering a Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree—or anything else—from them, save yourself the hassle and shop elsewhere. Poor quality, terrible service, and a frustrating claims process make this a one-star experience.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertDear Tracey, we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the condition your plants arrived in. That’s never the kind of impression we want to leave, and we completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been. We aim to deliver healthy, thriving plants every time, and we’re sorry we missed that mark — not just once, but more than once in your case. Since the items were out of stock, we issued a store credit as a resolution so you could choose something new when ready. We understand that may not have felt like the ideal solution, and we regret that we couldn’t do more at the time. Your feedback has been shared with our fulfillment and quality teams as part of our ongoing efforts to improve both the products we send and the support we offer. Thank you for taking the time to let us know. If there’s anything more we can do or if you’d like help selecting a replacement, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
