Dwarf Cavendish {Musa acuminata} Fruiting | High Yield | Indoor Outdoor | Tropical | Culinary Grade | Fragrant | 5 seeds.

Musa acuminata better known as the Cavendish banana, it is a species implicated in the origin of the vast majority of edible bananas. Many of the bananas sold in grocery stores are from cultivars of this species or from hybrids in which this species is a parent.

Primarily grown not for their fruit but for their ornamental foliage that lends an exotic and tropical aura to the home or the garden. Musa acuminata is a 'dwarf variety' that typically grows to 120 to 180cm (4 to 6ft) tall. Extremely suitable for containers or gardens, it makes a much more manageable plant than other species. The fruits, at 12cm (5in) long, are smaller than the common desert banana. They are sweeter are at their best when eaten very ripe.

Banana plants are the largest plants on earth without a woody stem. They are actually giant herbs of the same family as lilies, orchids and palms. It reaches its full height of in about one year. The trunk of a banana plant (the pseudostem) is made of sheaths of overlapping leaves, tightly wrapped around each other. Broad, long, graceful leaves and rapid growth make the banana a favorite plant for providing a tropical look to pool or patio areas. The development of bananas following a frost-free winter is a source of both pride and amazement to those unfamiliar with banana culture.
