Species and varieties: Banana trees belong to the genus Musa. Common species include Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. Varieties include Cavendish, Gros Michel, and Red Banana.
Hybrid or heirloom: Most commercial banana varieties are hybrids, particularly the Cavendish variety, which is a hybrid of Musa acuminata. Heirloom varieties like the Gros Michel are less common but still cultivated in some regions.
Pruning and training: Banana trees require regular pruning to remove dead leaves and spent flower stalks. Suckers (offshoots) should be pruned to allow the main plant to thrive.
Fertilization needs: Banana trees are heavy feeders and require regular fertilization. Use a balanced fertilizer with a ratio of 8-10-8 (N-P-K) every 2-3 months. Organic compost and well-rotted manure can also be beneficial.
Hardiness zones: Banana trees thrive in USDA hardiness zones 9-11.
Climate requirements: Banana trees require a tropical or subtropical climate with temperatures ranging between 75-95°F (24-35°C). They need high humidity and protection from strong winds.
