Banana Plants Dwarf Cavendish Includes Four (4) Plants

I was not planning to make this review, but I had the picture taken yesterday and in the last 5 months, the plants grew very well. At first, I was about to do a return since these trees came a little late, and I was nervous that they would come to me stressed after being in a box for more days then expected. I was able to get them planted immediately and situated safely in a green house (USDA Zone 5b) heading into the Summer months. One of the starts went to a family member who put it on their kitchen counter and it failed to grow in 4 months. Pulling that start into my greenhouse instantly got it healthy and thriving. All 4 tree starts give a full new leaf every 3 to 10 days. The plants have had to be transplanted twice already (which is why I took the picture yesterday). I am always impressed how well these plants are growing. Future Buyers: I would highly recommend you have heat, sun, and humidity ready for these plants as I have now seen the difference between sibling plant starts establishing in both good and almost good environments. I am surprised how fast these grow. Be ready for transplanting and growth. What I am still not sure about: (little documentation about what to expect) - How will I pollinate the future banana bunch as it forms? - How large will the pot need to be so I can get a sucker to continue growth after the initial plant expires? Final thought: This is a great purchase. The plants are pretty hearty, and they all survived the somewhat concerning delays in shipping. They will need the attention that tropicals need to thrive. I would recommend misting with a spray bottle if your humidity is like mine (sub 30% and lower daily). I would buy again if I needed more of these guys. Cheers

Bright green and very healthy looking. I potted these in 12 inch pots with good soil fertilizer and nitrogen. got the right plant food balance and covered the top of the pot with wood compose It's been a week and they are in my laundry room under a plant because it's too cold on the patio. However these were exactly as advertised easy to plant and I am looking forward to a wonderful plant for the patio and a great harvest of bananas on 3 or 4 years.These are also perfect for planting in larger pots as they grow and are pruned. But best of all I can put then in the garage or the She Shed over the winter months. This was a good purchase.

Shipper took a while but they made it better quickly after I notified them. They took a while but all are growing new leaves just be patient after they arrive plant them and water. Now they are sprouting nice new leaves and looking great and strong. After only a couple weeks.

Delivered at good conditions. They were very nice but small. I put them in the planter pots in the next day. I have no idea that they will die down in the winter since I live in zone 8b, somehow I didn’t have a good protection from the frost. However, they spouted again in the spring. See my 3rd photo.

The plants arrived in perfect condition and healthy. Packed very well with care. They grow quickly indoors - the first batch I got a few years ago is about 3 ft tall now and surrounded by little banana "pups". Beautiful plants!

So far, I am absolutely unimpressed and concerned about this purchase. The packaging left these, much smaller than advertised (1 in. containers), plants loose and beat up from shipping .. one dead and three still looking bad after three weeks Also, no information at all .. I don't know if I should fertilize now or wait (if recently fertilized)? Honestly, they are so wilted, small ( I have never seen such a small planter... Smaller than the ones they make for seed planting), and yellow looking (only one leaf each) I will be surprised if they survive.

The items were exactly as stated. I was a little surprised by how small they were. One of the plants was broken in half from the mail but not the sellers fault

You'll probably be surprised at the small, well packaged box these come in. These photos were taken on 7/15/24 and 9/22/24. The 4 banana babies are doing quite well in Florida. I used the recommended succulent potting soil and the recommended 6.2.12 fertilizer every couple of weeks. I'll taper off feeding when the growing season ends. In pots they need to be watered every day there is no rain. Because I'm a novice banana planter, I use an app to diagnose the couple of issues I've had to address. It has taken a few weeks to determine how much water they need. I watch the amount of water that soaks into the soil easily and how much comes out the bottom of the pots - drainage is essential. Enjoy.
