What's up everyone? Welcome back. Hope your garden's growing. Hope you're doing well. This is Kevin from Epic gardening. We're going to talk about dwarf banana trees.

Now that does not mean that the bananas themselves are dwarfs, but we're going to talk about a type of banana tree, a variety

ornamental.

So you do not need to be in the tropics to grow them,

although they do like the warm weather.

They're just a beautiful plant,

unlike many other house plants,

they have just a really cool look to them. And if you are in the mood to grow something

unique, maybe a little conversation starter for your home or your garden, well, hit the dwarf banana tree. So let's get into a couple

varieties and then we will get into how to care for them. It was actually initially believed

that all plantains or cooking bananas came from the species

Musa paradiscia and all dessert bananas came from the species Musa sappientum

but a later study actually revealed that all edible bananas came from the hybridization of two wild species and those species would be Musa, a cuminata and mousa valbusiana.

And that's regardless of whether they were cooking or dessert animals.

So virtually every edible banana today is a hybrid cultivar of one or both of those two

wild banana species. And so that is just a two wild banana species.

And so that is just a fun little banana fact.

And there are hundreds and thousands

of different cultivars of edible bananas.

But today we're gonna focus on the dwarf varieties.

And so we're going to talk about both ones that will fruit
