If you haven't heard of the Matoke banana, you're in for a real treat. This unique East African variety is prized for its firm texture and mild, starchy flavor, making it especially popular for cooking. In fact, in places like Uganda and Tanzania, Matooke--a hearty stew--is made primarily of and named for this delicious banana. Unlike sweet dessert bananas, Matoke bananas are traditionally enjoyed steamed, boiled, mashed, or added to savory dishes. With its lush tropical foliage and versatile fruit, Matoke is a wonderful addition to a warm-climate garden.

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.
