The Dwarf Cavendish banana plant, is a popular choice among home gardeners and tropical fruit enthusiasts, because of its compact size, reaching 6-10FT tall at maturity. The Cavendish fruit, measuring an impressive 8-10 inches, is well-known for its classic, sweet taste and bright yellow peel. It yields bunches of medium-sized, richly flavored bananas that are perfect for fresh consumption, desserts, or baking.
What sets the Dwarf Cavendish apart is its adaptability to container growing, making it suitable for those with limited space or a desire to introduce a tropical atmosphere to patios, balconies, or indoor settings. Despite its modest stature, the plant's broad and lush green leaves contribute to an ornamental and exotic aesthetic. Additionally, the Dwarf Cavendish is relatively easy to care for, requiring consistent moisture, regular fertilization, and ample sunlight. While it is hardy and can tolerate various conditions, providing a warm and sheltered environment enhances its potential for flourishing and fruit production.
Ideal Growing Conditions
USDA Hardiness Zones: 9B-11
Protect young plants if temperatures drop below 50F. Once established, they can take brief periods of cold down to 32F but expect some leaf damage. The entire plant can die if temperatures drop below 32F.
Perennial evergreen - will lose leaves if exposed to too much cold
Sun: Full sun is best for maximum growth and production. Can tolerate some partial shade but production will be decreased.
Soil: Everything grows best in soil that is heavy in composted organic matter BUT this plant grows just fine in a variety of soils without amendments, like my native Florida sandy soil.
Water: Monitor young plants and keep consistent water.
Fertilizer: Bananas are nutrient hungry plants. Fertilize every month with a citrus fertilizer or 10-10-10.

Shipping Information
Shipping Information
SEEDS
- Seeds can be shipped to states within the USA. No shipping to outside of the USA is available.
- Orders ship within 1-3 business days, not including weekends, holidays, or delays caused by natural disasters.
- If my local USPS/UPS office is closed, for example due to inclement weather like a hurricane or snow storm, then I resume shipping the very first day they re-open.
- I am not open to the public so shipping is the only option.
- Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers to ensure that they are not pushed through roller machines which can crush the seeds. For this reason, I do not ship in a plain envelope.
- Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
PLANTS & RHIZOMES
- I can only ship live plant products within the USA.
- I only use USPS Priority or UPS shipping if an order contains live plant products. This is to ensure they are not in transit for a long period of time.
- Orders with plants will ship the following Monday after the order was placed. This is to ensure live plant products have the longest stretch of week days while in transit, and don't get stuck in the post office over a weekend or holiday. If Monday is a holiday, then we cannot ship, and orders are held to ship the next Monday.
- If there is inclement weather, such as snow storms or hurricanes impacting shipping routes, I will hold from shipping orders until routes have cleared. I am located in Florida and frequently get impacted by hurricanes during hurricane season. I resume shipping as soon as my local post office opens back up or the inclement weather has passed.
DELIVERED BUT NOT FOUND
- If there is an issue with your delivery, like tracking says "delivered" but you cannot find your package, contact your local USPS office immediately as they should be able to help you locate the package. Or wait a few days, as customers have reported back to me that the package shows up a few days later even though it says "delivered". I am not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen.
- If it has been a full 7 days after tracking says delivered, and the pakage still has not shown up or arrived, please email me at info@jerrasgarden.com so I can engage the help of USPS/UPS with locating the package. Do not wait more than 14 days after delivery to let me know because then USPS/UPS cannot really help. If the lost package is reported to me beyond 14 days after delivery - I cannot help and I will not ship a replacement.
Refunds & Exchanges
Refunds & Exchanges
Refund & Return Policy
All sales are final once an order has shipped. Due to the nature of live plants and seeds, we do not accept returns or offer refunds once items have shipped, except in the limited circumstances outlined below.
Seeds: Since there are many factors beyond our control that affect germination and growing success—including climate, soil conditions, watering, and care—no refunds or exchanges are offered on seeds once they have shipped. All seeds sold are fresh, viable, and the same seeds we use in our own personal garden.
Live Plants: Live plants are non-refundable and non-replaceable. Orders containing live plants are typically shipped the following Monday or Tuesday after the order is placed, and we are unable to hold plant orders for shipment at a later date.
Cold Temperatures: If you are located in a cold climate, please be aware that during the winter months we are not responsible for cold damage during transit or delays caused by winter storms or severe weather. To help reduce the risk of cold damage, we recommend placing plant orders during times of the year when temperatures in your area are warm enough for safe shipping.
Many of our customers are located in warm or tropical climates, where we are able to ship plants year-round. Because we ship a high volume of orders, we do not have the ability to filter or hold orders based on the destination’s weather conditions or climate. For this reason, it is the customer’s responsibility to consider their local weather and growing conditions before placing an order for live plants.
USDA Garden Zones: Customers are responsible for selecting plants that are suitable for their growing conditions. Each plant listing includes information about the recommended growing conditions and USDA garden zones, and we cannot guarantee success if plants are purchased for areas outside of their recommended zones.
We gladly offer a replacement if a plant arrives dead upon delivery.
To be eligible for a replacement:
- You must contact us within 24 hours of delivery
- Email info@jerrasgarden.com
- Include clear photos of all plants in the order, including packaging if possible
Reports made after 24 hours of delivery will not be eligible for a refund or replacement. We are unable to replace or refund plants reported outside of this timeframe, as plant health after delivery is influenced by factors out of our control such as handling, environmental conditions, and care once received.
Shipping Issues
We are not responsible for lost, delayed, or damaged packages caused by USPS or UPS once the package is in the carrier’s possession. Shipping carriers are responsible for transit-related issues.
DELIVERED BUT NOT FOUND
- If there is an issue with your delivery, like tracking says "delivered" but you cannot find your package, contact your local USPS office immediately as they should be able to help you locate the package.

Beautiful little tree .. very healthy ! Gonna try to grow her here !! 🍌🍌
I ❤️ my Banana plant. Customer service is awesome.
Thank you..
Dwarf Cavendish is doing really good so far but the Truly Tiny I bought at the same time and did the exact same treatment of looks almost dead. Not sure why. I've brought both inside when it's gotten cold and there's plenty of LED light and heat.
Jerra muchas gracias por tus consejos y tus productos
Plant arrived in great condition, planted the day it arrived and already have new leaves showing.
I ordered 2 plants. They came well-wrapped and healthy. Hopefully, I can keep them growing!
My plants arrived in time and well packaged. Unfortunately, one of the plants was broken off from the roots during shipping. I emailed Jerra to ask if I should try to pot it up and see if it would grow a new stem/leaves. Jerra was very helpful telling me to try and see what happens but went the extra mile and shipped out a replacement plant. It arrived in good shape. Very thankful for Jerra's great customer service and for healthy plants.
Very pleased with the banana plants, they are in the ground, and doing excellent, thank you so much.
Plant arrived fast and was in great condition. I planted it in a pot until it gets bigger and already has new growth. Would definitely order from Jerra again. Love her videos too. Lots of great information. Thank you!
The banana plant is doing great growing fast and furious
I LOVE my lil banana plant! There is such a 'cuteness' about it... plus very healthy! :))) Packaged with care & shipped quickly! Thank you for such a pleasant-easy transaction! :))) A+++
