Dwarf Cavendish is what started my banana farming. There were a bunch in the yard of a house I was renting, and I did nothing and they yielded 30-50 lbs bunches regularly. They were really good too, they actually tasted like bananas. 8 years later I am still at it, although I don't have any dwarf cavendish. I have planted a lot of Williams over the past few months though.
