While out riding, I discovered bananas that were only about 5 feet tall and bearing fruit. After some research, I found out they were the Dwarf Cavendish variety, which piqued my interest. I reached out to a local gardener group but didn’t get a response right away. Later, a neighbor mentioned seeing some banana trees further down the road, though he wasn’t sure if they were the dwarf type. When I went to check, I found a cluster of banana trees, both tall and short, in someone’s yard. I asked the owner about them, and to my delight, he confirmed there were dwarf bananas among them and generously gave me three pups to plant. I was so happy I practically danced home with them. The next day, a member of the gardener group responded, offering me two more pups if I wanted them. Now I have five plants, and they’re all growing beautifully. Hope that all will grow well as this is my very first time planting banana.
Great story . I’m so happy for you. I hope you can keep us posted on how the new banana plants do. I wonder how long it will be for the plants to set fruit ?
