Musa 'Cavendish Zelig' - Canarian Banana

This Cavendish Banana appeared in Tenerife in the banana fields of the Brier family. Now it is a widespread commercial crop in the Canary Islands. It is very productive. Plants achieve 2,5-3 m (8-9 ft) and bear large bunches.

This is a Cavendish Type banana, the common commercial cultivar grown worldwide, a Triploid AAA banana, originally from Southern China. Growth is easy and they bear huge bunches. This banana tree is cold sensitive, just as most cavendish bananas. Protect from temperatures below 8 C.

What do we ship?

We ship a stout rooted sucker, not a potted plant. You will receive it with the corm wrapped in a bag with moist sphagnum or perlite.

In spring, suckers may not have roots. In this case, suckers are easy to root if temperatures are kept between 20 and 30 C.
