🍌 'Double Mahoi' Banana Tree – Dwarf, ultra-productive (up to 2 bunches per stem)

4" (6–18") pot

Musa 'Double Mahoi' is a mutation of Dwarf Cavendish (group AAA) highly sought after for its double fruiting : the same pseudostem can bear two, sometimes three bunches simultaneously. Compact (≈ 1.5–2.5 m ), wind-resistant, and perfect for container growing , it produces dessert-quality bananas that are sweet and creamy , often considered superior to classic Cavendish.

Strengths

• Double/twin bunches on the same stem (hence “Mahoi” = “twins” in Hawaiian).
• Dwarf port : ideal for house, balcony, terrace, greenhouse.
• Dessert fruits : sweet taste, creamy texture.
• Good wind resistance : solid base, thick leaves.

Quick guide

Growing tips

• Light: full sun or very bright (6–8 h+).
• Ideal temperature: 20–32 °C; avoid < 10 °C; bring indoors before any frost.
• Watering: regular; allow the top of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings.
• Substrate: aerated potting soil + perlite/coco; impeccable drainage .
• Fertilizer: during active growth, rich formulation (e.g., 20-8-20) every 1–2 weeks.
• Humidity: moderate to high; mist if < 40% RH indoors.
• Pot: large, well-draining container; repot as needed to support productivity.
• Time to fruiting: ~12–18 months depending on heat, light and pot size.

Note: Double fruiting depends on warm, bright conditions and a good-sized pot. Final size and yield vary depending on the environment.
