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.
Even better? Dwarf Cavendish Bananas easily thrive in growing zones 4 through 11. 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.

Grows well and beautiful but needs care
Grows well, keep in a 20 gallon cloth pot bag so you can bring inside. 20 months to fruit, give water every day. One plant gives about 60 bananas and produces multiple pups (baby plant from the bulb).
Finally have fruit
Had my dwarf cavendish in a pot for a couple years, then planted in the ground. It exploded with growth from 3’ to 12’ in one year and I now have fruits from my labour. Can’t wait to taste.
Healthy and thriving banana tree!
We have had this banana palm tree for about 2 years. It’s doing so well! Extremely healthy! I’m honestly shocked at how big it’s becoming. No bananas yet but hopefully soon! I highly recommend this tree!
Thriving & patiently waiting for flowering fruit
Has many babies but no fruit yet
Very pleased
I bought this tree for my backyard. It was very small when it arrived. It had three leaves, but in healthy condition. I planted it and at first one of the leaves died within a week, but it’s been a couple of months and it has about 10 leaves. It’s growing very tall and very quickly and I’m very pleased with it. I’m looking forward to it bearing fruit.
