Dwarf Lady Banana Around 1.5 Meter Tall

🌿 Dwarf Lady Finger Banana

Botanical Name: Musa acuminata (Lady Finger – Dwarf variety)

The Dwarf Lady Finger Banana is a compact, sweet-fruiting variety ideal for backyards, courtyards, and large pots. It produces smaller, slender bananas that are exceptionally sweet with a creamy texture — often considered sweeter than Cavendish.
