I have some Dwarf Maoli's available.
Planted and rooting. will be ready to ship any day now.
Message me if interested.

This Banana/Plantain is one of the older rare varieties from Hawaii and believed to originate in the Marquesa Islands and brought to Hawaii in canoes.

It is the only Maoli type and one of 3 Bananas Hawaiian women were allowed to eat, in Old Hawaii!

It is a dwarf spanning from 7'-14' tall.

Orange/yellowish flesh that is very deliscious to eat when ripe or used in cooking.

Plants are 6"-12" tall and Ready to transplant.

For me it's not particularly cold tolerant

thank you. I have resigned myself with the fact that many of my plants will be just landscaping.

are they a fast grower or slow?

sorry my friend but I waited till I could get the second pic. pics were taken yesterday. got them last Monday. the center one grew the cigar leaf 3'' in the last 23 hours. all are progressing fine. bought the left one to put in the ground. 50% shade cloth protects it for the time being. this is the start of my new banana circle.
