William Cavendish Banana/Musa

The William Cavendish banana is a heritage variety prized for its rich flavour and creamy texture. Unlike commercial Cavendish bananas, this heirloom cultivar offers a sweeter, more intense taste with a soft, non-fibrous texture.

Perfect for home growers looking for a highly productive, disease-resistant variety, the William Cavendish thrives in both pots and gardens. It produces large bunches of medium-sized bananas, ideal for fresh eating, baking, or smoothies.

Features:

pH growing conditions: 6.0 to 7.0

Minimum pot: 50L

Interesting notes:

The William Cavendish banana is more cold-tolerant than many tropical varieties, making it suitable for cooler climates. It also has strong wind resistance, making it ideal for coastal areas. This variety is part of Australia’s rich agricultural history and is perfect for gardeners seeking a sustainable, backyard banana tree.
