Dwarf Orinoco Banana - Musa
$20.99
+ Free Shipping
With the Dwarf Orinoco, you get all the same versatile qualities of the Orinoco Banana in a much smaller size (6-10 feet at maturity). Dwarf varieties are great for your landscaping and are also great candidates for container growing. Dwarf Orinocos are very hardy and produce fruit that won't split when it ripens. This variety is also known as donkey or burro banana for its thick-skinned fruit that doesn't curve much like typical bananas.
Use peat or potting soil and start in a 1-gallon pot (7-8 inches). When ready, move to a 5 or 7-gallon pot (12-14 inches) and then to a 15 or even 25-gallon container (18-24 inches).
• Average mature height: 6-10 feet
• Fertilizer: N/P/K (Nitrogen/Phosphorus/Potassium) in a 3/1/6 ratio
• Light: Full to part sun
• Soil: Rich, well-drained
• Zones: 7b-11

The plants arrived in excellent condition and well hydrated. I will move them into the sunshine today and prepare to transplant them to larger pots this weekend

I ordered two sets of the banana bundle and both arrived well packaged and in great condition. I will say the double mahoi seems to be a bit more tender than the other two, both mine and the one my mother planted have been a bit dramatic, though they show signs of recovering. The other two have stayed healthy through the transition!
