About Banana Plants
Bananas are available either as stems or potted. For potted stock the following sizes are available:
Small: up to 0.5 m
Medium: 0.5 - 1 m
Large: 1.0 – 1.5 m
Extra Large/Specimen: greater than 1.5 m
When shipping bananas the foliage is removed to facilitate ease of packing. This does not damage the plant and it will regrow. If you want banana plants shipped with foliage intact please let us know. The freight cost may be higher.
​
Bananas are best grown in spring or summer when the weather is warm and all risk of frost is passed. Bananas need sun, warmth, lots of water and shelter from the wind. The soil should be rich and free draining. Feed your banana well and mulch around the stem - grass clippings are great! Once your banana has fruited cut down the stem and use as mulch around the plant. Your banana clump should always have 3 stems - the stem with the bunch on it, and 2 smaller stems which will fruit in subsequent seasons. Any additional stems should be cut down.
These lady finger bananas are widely grown in New Zealand, especially Misi luki. It is strongly recommended that you only plant bananas outdoors during the warmer months, preferably from November through to February.
