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.

Feeling Like A Green Thumb

Nampa, Idaho is a surprising place to even have a Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree! I'm feeling grateful and amazed by the quick re-planting and growth in August. Thanks for making the variety on-hand, along with foliage and mix.

Trees.com Plant ExpertYou’ve definitely earned that green thumb title, Michael! Watching a tropical plant take off so quickly after repotting is super satisfying. Thanks for choosing us for your tree and supplies and keep up the great work!

Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree

The banana tree is looking good. She’s had several new leaves come out. She also has a newly formed pup, probably 2-3 inches. Should I leave the pup there or should I cut it from the root and replant?

Trees.com Plant ExpertHi Luis! We are thrilled that your Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree is flourishing and pushing out fresh leaves. Regarding that adorable 2-to-3-inch pup: leave it attached for now! It needs time to develop its own root network. Wait until the pup grows to about 12 to 18 inches tall before slicing it away from the main corm with a sharp blade to replant. You are going to have a fantastic second banana tree in no time! If there's anything we can do to make this a 5 star experience, please let us know!
