Goldfinger Dwarf Banana Plant – FHIA-01 Goldfinger Desert Banana

The plants are anywhere from between 3″-10″+ tall and are planted in 4″ pots.

It is cold and wind resistant and considered a dwarf, reaching a height of 8ft.

The FHIA-01 Goldfinger Banana is a hybrid dessert banana that was developed and released in 1988.

The female parent was a Dwarf Brazilian/Dwarf Apple and still carries that nice apple flavor, making it an excellent desert banana and is mostly eaten raw when ripe.

The ripe fruit has a sweet-acid, apple flavor that is similar to the mother plant. The cut fruit does not turn black upon exposure to the air and so is good to use in salads.

It is also excellent to cook with while green such as sliced and fried.
