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

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

Banana Fuel supercharges banana growth

Wellspring Gardens' Banana Fuel Fertilizer is high in potassium, which banana trees need to grow and eventually fruit. When paired with optimal sunlight and water, Banana Fuel will help you raise your banana trees to their full potential.
