werds Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Do you know if the bananas of this banana tree are edible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Probably a dwarf cavendish (cultivated hybrid), should be edible. Most bananas are edible but the wild varieties are full of hard black seeds... If its a cavendish it wont be hardy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Baba Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Dwarf is a relative term also, unless you have a tropical greenhouse with considerable headroom you will not get it big enough to fruit. If you like the look of bananas and don't mind not having fruit try musa basjoo or sikkimensis outdoors Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
