The Dwarf Cavendish is the banana most people picture, grown on a plant short enough to keep on a deck or in a sunroom. It tops out around 6–8 feet — roughly half the height of a standard banana — which makes it the single best choice for container growing and for anyone who needs to drag their plants inside before frost.
Expect a hand of 50–150 sweet, classic-flavored bananas per bunch once established. The plant is a heavy feeder and a heavy drinker: give it the biggest pot you can manage, feed it monthly through the growing season, and it will reward you fast.
Tastes like vanilla ice cream. Silvery-blue fruit. Cold-hardiest banana we sell.
Wind and cold tolerant, compact, honey-sweet fruit.
The commercial workhorse. Huge bunches, dependable, sweet.
