Tags: Cultivar (Cultivated Variety).
The Dwarf Cavendish banana is a cultivar descended from the banana cultivar group of commercial produce the Cavendish. They are often grown as houseplants and produce slightly smaller edible bananas than other Cavendish cultivars. The name ‘Dwarf Cavendish’ is in reference to the height of the pseudostem not the fruit (which are medium sized). Young plants have maroon or purple blotches on their leaves but quickly lose them as they mature.
