Musa Dwarf Cavendish is a dwarf variety of the Cavendish banana (Musa acuminata). It is one of the most popular and widely cultivated varieties within the Musa genus due to its compact size and delicious fruits.
It usually grows between 1.5 and 2.5 meters in height. The plant has a short, stout stem that provides support for the leaves and fruit cluster. The leaves of Dwarf Cavendish are large and fan-shaped, typical characteristics of banana plants. They are deep green in color and have a smooth texture. The leaves emerge directly from the stem and are arranged in a spiral shape.
Dwarf Cavendish produces fruit clusters similar to those of the standard Cavendish banana, but smaller in size. The fruits are elongated, curved berries with yellow skins when ripe. They have a sweet, creamy flesh and are prized for their flavor and versatility in cooking.
This plant is grown in tropical and subtropical climates, as it prefers warm temperatures and well-drained soils.
