Produces wonderful tasting fruit as does the others in the Cavendish sub-group. A vigorous grower with wide green leaves. This is One of the more common grown varieties in the USA. This particular cultivar is a great flavor in Florida as a backyard banana because of its ability to reliably produce fruit with a minimum of care by the homeowner. Cavendish are the most common variety of bananas grown by the gardeners like myself. This variety is very hardy and produces very good size heads of fruit. The dwarf variety, which grows to 8 feet, is the most common backyard variety. The fruit is excellent tasting and can remain on the plant until ripe. Fast growing Banana plant. Fruits with in the first full year. Height is 4 feet and 5 when mature. My most harvests of all my bananas.
