The name "Dwarf Cavendish" is in reference to the height of the pseudostem, not the fruit and can grow 5-8 ft tall. Young plants have maroon or purple blotches on their leaves but quickly lose them as they mature. It is one of the most commonly planted banana varieties from the Cavendish group, and the main source of commercial Cavendish bananas along with Grand Nain. Last of all, it has great disease resistance and can grow from Central to Southern States Zone 8-11. Most all edible plants grow well in Full Sun, a little shade won’t hurt. For starter plants I recommend growing in a 4 inch to 1 gallon pot to allow your plants to get a little bigger then then re-pot or plant. Banana Plants can be planted in most healthy soils with normal pH range 6.0-8. I recommend growing in an organic potting soil with the fertilizer and beneficials already mix in. Keep your soil moist, not not soaked and keep consistently watered. A key feature is the banana’s rhizomatous root system, which puts up new stalks each year. For good fruit production, it helps to limit the plant to three or four stalks that are different ages. The oldest and tallest one should be flowering and/or fruiting. The second one should be one-half to one-third the size of the first. And finally, there should be one or two young plants that are six inches to three feet tall. ## Features - Includes Four "Dwarf Cavendish" Banana Plants.

Mine haven't fruited yet. **Q: How far apart do you plant them in the ground?** A: We planted ours about 2' apart. We did lose a couple of plants because we had a very severe cold that was not normal for Florida. Also, the ones that did survive grew lots and lots of pups so you will have plenty of plants. You should take those pups and transplant them so that your main banana plant will put all of its energy into growing bananas. **Q: Does this plant produce bananas that you can eat?** A: I have only had mine for a year. They are doing great and I hope they will. Even if they don't, they are beautiful plants. **Q: Do these have the maroon markings on young leaves that denote the Dwarf Cavendish cultivar? I don't see any in the photos, so very hesitant to buy.** A: There were no maroon markings. Mine flourished at first in the greenhouse then died off one by one. The leaves turned black around the edges.
