Dwarf Kokopo (aka 'Patupi') is the fast food of bananas as far as fruiting time but the gourmet restaurant banana as far as taste. Kokopo bananas are known for their quick fruiting time (7-8 months faster than other varieties) and their orange-tinted pulp, which indicates a high amount of vitamin A and beta carotene. Just how fast can Kokopo fruit? One season is all it takes; after blooming, this banana fruits in just 5-6 weeks compared to other varieties which take up to 9 months after you first see a bloom. Once your Kokopo matures and blooms in the spring, you will likely have fruit by summer. In other great news, Kokopo is ideal to container grow indoors thanks to its thin and lightweight nature, but it is also perfect for outdoors, too.
