Gran Naine is basically a larger, beefier version of Dwarf Cavendish. It is a Dwarf Cavendish mutant and is a very similar plant, just larger and with more/larger fruit. This is the Cavendish variety most often used for commercial growing, these are the Dole and Chiquita bananas we know here in the US.
