Large oblong green leaves arranged around a sturdy pseudostem give Musa acuminata 'Dwarf Cavendish' its classic banana silhouette. The plant stays more manageable than many bananas in containers, while the wide leaves still lengthen, arch and overlap as it matures. Over time the foliage builds a layered crown that gives young plants a full tropical look before they reach their maximum size. Bright warmth and regular moisture suit generous active-season growth indoors. Mature plants may flower and produce edible yellow fruit in ideal conditions. Banana plants are listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs.
