Banana ‘Māhoi’ Tree 25G

Banana ‘Māhoi’ Tree in 25-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

Tropical, productive, and delightfully unique—the Banana ‘Māhoi’ (Musa spp. ‘Māhoi’) in a 25-gallon pot is a twin-trunked fruiting banana that’s as eye-catching as it is fruitful. This rare variety is known for producing two fruiting stalks per plant—hence the Hawaiian name “Māhoi,” meaning “twin.” With sweet, dessert-quality bananas and lush, broad leaves, it’s an ideal centerpiece for South Florida gardens and edible landscapes.

This 25-gallon size offers a mature, fast-growing specimen that’s ready to thrive in your yard, food forest, or large tropical container garden.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Loves full sun—6–8 hours daily promotes rapid growth and heavy fruiting.

• Watering: Requires frequent, deep watering, especially in dry or windy weather. Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy.

• Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil high in organic matter. Add compost, mulch, or worm castings for sustained nutrition.

• Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a high-potassium fertilizer to support vigorous foliage and fruit development. Bananas are heavy feeders.

• Growth Habit: Clumping, herbaceous plant with upright leaves and multiple trunks. In a 25-gallon pot, it typically stands 5–7 feet tall, but can reach 10–12 feet or more when planted in the ground.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 9B–11. Flourishes in South Florida’s tropical heat. Protect from frost and strong winds.

• Maintenance: Moderate. Remove spent leaves and pups as needed. After fruiting, the main stalk will die back and can be cut to the ground, making room for new growth.

Fruit Notes: Produces medium-sized, sweet bananas with excellent texture and flavor. The real showstopper is the double-stalked fruiting habit, giving twice the bounty from one plant.
