Musa 'Dwarf Orinoco'

Musa 'Dwarf Orinoco'
Dwarf Orinoco is a small banana growing up to 8 feet tall with a thick stem and solid green leaves. It produces a large quantity of thick-skinned fruit that are good for eating. This banana is hardy to USDA Zone 7b and can withstand strong winds. The stalk may need to be staked, however, when carrying large heads of fruit.
