Your cart is empty.Grand Nain is an outstanding banana variety growing from 6 to 8 feet tall and solid green in color. Very attractive for its landscaping potential and good wind resistance. The ‘Gran Nain’ produces very large heads of delicious sweet fruit. It is very quick ripening. Gran Naim has no problem producing 40-60 lbs. of fruit. This is the Chiquita variety of banana you find at the supermarket. How to Grow: Most all edible plants grow well in Full Sun, a little shade won’t hurt. For smaller starter plants I recommend in a four inch pot to start then plant or re-pot. Keep starter plant temperature above 60 degrees. Banana Plants can be planted in most healthy soils with normal pH range 6.5-8. I recommend growing in a good potting soil for your starter plant and then mix up your favorite type of medium when ready to be fully planted. Keep your soil moist and when it is about dried out water again. Make sure you find a fertilizer and follow guidelines.

The item arrived intact and healthy, the plants were about 8” tall and well rooted. I even got a bonus plant, two trees in one little pot. I started all of my other bananas in 4”pots before transplanting to a one gallon. They outgrew the 4” pots in about a month. I have purchased nearly all of the banana varieties available from Hello Organics and all are thriving. Please start doing additional varieties, looking for Red Cuban Bananas next!

I can't complain about the packing. I think the seller did right, but the postal service crushed one end of the box & one of the plants was broken near the base. Two plants were beautiful, one was pretty good, and we prayed the 4th would make it. It didn't. They come in TINY starting pods, so we immediately replanted into larger pots. We've been keeping them moist (not wet), in order to not let them dry out. Taking them outside during the warmer sunny days & then back into climate control for the cool evenings. Figured we'd keep this up until we were sure there'd be no more cold snaps. Now, I am concerned because they are not thriving at all. We have other bananas and they do AMAZING where we are along the Gulf Coast (Texas). They love the soil/climate, everything. Only hard freezes kill them back & then they return in the late winter/early spring. This is the first time we've bought this variety and we've only had them just over a week now. I'll need more time to update this review and figure out if it's us or the plants.

The trees came quickly but had a little wear. I have them in pots for now. When I put them in the sun, they start to get leaf burn. Keeping them in the shade until they start to get bigger. Other than that they seem good

The plants arrived and were in good shape. These were smaller than other banana plants that I've bought from this seller but they are still growing! People need to understand, any plant that is wrapped up and shipped in a box is not going to arrive in 'thriving' condition.....it's stressed and in marginal condition. You need to transplant immediately and NOT over-water it or over-fertilize it. Because the root system isn't entirely established and has likely been disturbed while transplanting, the uptake of water and nutrients will be compromised as the plant goes from distressed towards healthy. If someone knows what they are doing and uses common sense, these plants can easily be transplanted into larger containers and successfully grown. Do not place in direct and intense sun too quickly, do not be afraid to cut-off leaves that are in poor shape or wilting, it'll help stimulate growth. All my plants have been transplanted and are showing signs of growth.....from this point they'll just continue to grow! If you see poor reviews, mostly likely the people didn't know what they were doing!

I was horrified when these plants arrived, mostly unprotected, in a Manila envelope. They were all around 4” high and all but one looked healthy. I think one was damaged in shipping - it appeared crushed.I immediately planted them in 4” pots. It took about 3-4 months before they needed repotted and currently (7 months later) they’re in their 3rd pots.The “smooshed” plant did die, but the other three are now 5-6’ tall! They’re BEAUTIFUL! They remain disease and pest free (I have them on our patio) and they’re thriving.I’ve lived in SC now for 4 years (zone 8a), and these banana plants are the only outdoor plants I’ve managed to keep alive. There are no shady spots in my yard and we get months of scorching sun.The plants I received were healthy, hearty, and have done wonderfully - despite the heat. I don’t even mind that one died because I also bought a 4-pk of ice cream bananas and one of those plants ALREADY produced a sword sucker I was able to remove and repot. I bought 8 plants and, 7 months later, I’ve still got 8 plants. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.Should I ever get bananas I’ll update my review.

I bought 4 on April 5, 2017. They arrived moist and in good shape. A little TLC for 2 months and now they are 5 feet high in 7 months! These plants are very vigorous and have turned my entire planter box in to a root ball in 5 months. They love banana fertilizer. I would not expose young plants to direct sunlight for a couple months. Indirect sunlight or a grow lamp works just fine. I am in Southern California and the young plants will burn very quickly. I gave a 2 month old hearty plant to a friend and he put in in direct sun and killed it. The plants will tell you if they are not happy. Take care of them and they are awesome!17 month Update: I have a Banana Pod!!!!! The Plant is so big it is leaning. I am going to tie it back to support it and the new pod. It is hard to imagine these were 2 inches tall 17 months ago.18 Month Update: These are the big bananas!!! Count on Pod is over 200 bananas
