These
musa dwarf cavendish bananas were the first bunch to be harvested from my garden. The tree pushed out 11 hands yielding a total 115 bananas. Originally planted from a single comb, the group of now five banana trees flanks the corner of the fruit/vegetable garden hidden on the side of our house. The fruit is slightly smaller than the
conventional store-bought banana. Maximum tree height for this variety is six feet.
For proven results, I rely on the growing method that was passed down from
my grandmother, an avid gardener. She creates a ditch around the banana trees that serves, when filled with water, to surround them like a moat. The center of the "island" where the plants reside is frequently supplied with a mix of compost and cow manure.
