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.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
Best of all, your Dwarf Cavendish will be delivered with care. We use special attention when packing and shipping your prized tree, and during the growing season, you'll see fresh new leaves appear every few days.

Strong little trees
I ordered two of these spring 2024. They came in great shape and were looking great. Of course the cool winter came and this time we happen to get the very rare snow, so when spring of 2025 came they were taking a little longer than expected to wake up. Unfortunately my husband was impatient and cut them down. Luckily the little pups hadn’t sprouted yet and weren’t damaged so they started growing in their place, and they are looking amazing. I can’t wait until next spring/summer because we should finally have bananas then.

So far , so good but ask me again next year.
Love this dwarf Cavendish!
