Bananas
Growing delicious local bananas
Yes, bananas do grow in NZ!
Our banana stems are growing everywhere from the Far North to Invercargill! It's completely possible to grow bananas in New Zealand although you may have to do it in a greenhouse if you are further south. We can advise you on the best varieties to plant.
At Land of the Lotus we have a boutique collection of different varieties of bananas, and we specialise in rare and unusual plants. Come for a visit and walk in amongst the plantation areas - many who have been overseas say it's like walking through a plantation in Asia!
Ask us about the different types available - we ship all over New Zealand. On the left is a Dwarf Cavendish, popular for its low height and productivity.
We also have banana fruit for sale.
