Musa ‘Double Mahoi’ Banana

🍌 Musa ‘Double Mahoi’ Banana Plant

The Banana That Doubles the Harvest

If you’ve ever wanted to grow your own bananas right here in Arkansas, this one is a true showstopper. Musa ‘Double Mahoi’ is a rare and highly sought-after banana variety known for its unique ability to produce two full bunches of dessert-quality fruit from a single stalk — a natural phenomenon called double inflorescence.

This compact grower stays 5–7 feet tall in containers (up to 8 feet in the ground), making it ideal for greenhouses, sunrooms, patios, and bright porch spaces. Even when grown outdoors in Zone 7 as a foliage plant, it delivers bold tropical beauty and rapid growth that instantly transforms any growing space into a paradise oasis.

With proper warmth and winter protection, especially in a greenhouse setting, ‘Double Mahoi’ can truly shine, producing two massive clusters per cycle that often yield 15–30 pounds of sweet, creamy bananas per bunch. The flavor rivals classic Cavendish bananas — rich, smooth, and delicious right off the tree.

Give this tropical performer plenty of sun, consistent moisture, and warmth, and it will reward you with unmatched productivity and stunning beauty.
