## Description

FHIA-03 "Sweetheart" Dwarf Banana Plant - RARE Dwarf Banana The Sweetheart Banana Plant (also known as Dwarf Red Banana or Musa 'Sweetheart') is a tropical banana variety prized for its sweet, flavorful fruit and ornamental appeal. It is a dwarf cultivar, making it ideal for home gardens, patios, and even indoor growing in large containers. The ripe fruits have an “apple” flavor. It should be taken into account that, once the bunch is harvested, its green life is short and the hands should be harvested one at a time from the plants as needed. Zones 9-11 or down to 20°.

Review: Beautiful tree. - I planted my tree on October 2024 and it was about 18” high. One year later, a lot of water, a couple fertilizer sticks and plenty of Arizona sunshine it’s 9 feet tall and producing bananas 🤩
Review: worried, but not anymore. - the plant came well wrapped with a stabilizing stake...the mail carrier left it out in 20 degree weather, got worried it might die. The care instructions advised not to water it, so glad I listened....now baby has grown another 1/2 inch in just 3 days...looking forward to see when it will gets big enough to produce fruit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Totally beautiful plant
*by D***S on December 25, 2024*

It came with instructions on how not to shock it and I've followed them. It has a couple new shoots coming out. The plant is thriving. I think by spring it will be ready to go into the ground. So excited.
