Abstract: Dwarf banana is a good economic and ornamental tree species, which can be planted in greenhouse in south and north China. Research on cultivars characteristics and culture technology of dwarf banana can offer a knowledge base for its utilization. In the present study, dwarf banana‘Zhongjiao No.12’is used as plant material to study its cultivar characteristics and culture technology. Results showed that‘Zhongjiao No.12’ had a dwarf (85.7-103.3 cm), small and graceful tree structure, with good haracteristics of shorter growth circle (around 10 months), tolerance of Fusarium wilt disease, and moderate yield of 6.0-7.8 kg per plant. Fruit of‘Zhongjiao No.12’had good quality with sweet flavor, which was as good as conventional cultivar ofMusa sp. cavendish‘Baxi’. In conclusion, dwarf banana‘Zhongjiao No.12’has good economic and ornamental value, and may have an application prospect in leisure tourism and ecological agriculture construction, to meet the requirement of developing modern urban agriculture.
