When you grow your own Gran Nain bananas, they won't have blue stickers, but you will "find a better-tasting banana inside." The Gran Nain is Chiquita Banana's go-to cultivar. French for "large dwarf," it grows to a height of only 6 to 10 feet and yields large bunches of delectable fruit.

• Average mature height: 6-10 feet
• Light: Mostly sunny
• Soil: Good water-holding capacity
• Zones: 8-10

Plant Size
A baby plant, that is 3-8 inches tall, will arrive at your home in a 3-inch-deep pot. Then, raise your new baby to maturity under your caring, green thumb.
