Dwarf Cavendish Banana
This is the most popular of greenhouse bananas. It became the primary replacement for the Gros Michel Banana which was destroyed by a disease in the 1950’s. The name 'Dwarf Cavendish' is in reference to the height of the plant, not the medium sized fruit. It is one of the most commonly planted banana varieties in commercial production and is the group from which other commercial varieties such as Gran Nain are derived.

Raja Puri Banana
One of the first choices for landscaping because of its sturdiness, extra-wide leaves, and its ability to thrive on neglect more than most other banans. It is is totally green, has a very thick stem and stands up extremely well to wind. The leaves are wider than those of most bananas growing up to 3 feet wide. For a banana that does well with the least effort Raja Puri is the choice. Keeps a very neat appearance with little effort.
