Musa “Dwarf Cavendish”

This dwarf Banana is exciting for its lovely purple-streaked leaves, rich purple blooms, and flower size, yummy fruit it sets every year! Small enough for containers but very productive. Reaching just 10 feet tall and about 8 feet wide at maturity, this handsome tree boasts reddish-purple young foliage (that turns shiny green with maturity), large purple blooms on 3-foot stalks, and more bananas than you’d believe possible! Very fast-growing with a tropical look, it’s perfect for a large planter set in sunshine or your brightest window. Within 3 to 5 years you’ll be harvesting huge crops of bananas! This is a tropical tree, so if you live outside its hardiness range, be sure to bring it indoors before first frost. Very happy in hot, humid climates, it also fares well in bright windows indoors. The big, paddle-like 3-by-1-foot leaves are showy enough all by themselves, even without blooms and fruit
