Banana Plant ‘Kokopo’ (Musa acuminata)

4" Pot Size

This exciting new short season banana, ‘Kokopo’ goes from planting to fruiting in just 7-8 short months, much faster than most other banana varieties. If planted in the spring, it should produce fruit by fall. This is a game changer for northern gardeners who grow in containers. The bloom to harvest time is only 5-6 weeks, and fruiting begins once the plant is at least 3’ tall. ‘Kokopo’ has orange-tinted fruit that’s high in vitamin A and beta carotene. It can be eaten fresh when ripe or used in cooking. People report that ‘Kokopo’ has gourmet tasting fruit. Originating in Papua, New Guinea, the tree is fairly thin and lightweight, an added bonus for gardeners growing in containers. Grow in full sun with lots of water and fertilizer.
Available in a 4" pot.

Anne Zimmerman This picture is 4 1/2 months after receiving Kokopo, now growing in a solar greenhouse near Seattle. Every week it pops out a new massive leaf. Love this plant!

John Packed professionally. No damage at all.

Joe Long The initial shipment experienced delays while en-route because of a holiday and some kind of "weather delay". The plant arrived near dead. Customer service was great, and they sent a replacement. The replacement arrived very healthy and is a beautiful plant. I would buy from again.

Trea It arrived very well packed, it is doing wonderful. It doesn't really look like typical banana plant. Can't wait for it to get bigger. Luv it.

Otto Sebby Always enjoy plants from Logee’s collections. ‘Kokpo’s’ leaves are a bit dry but new ones are already appearing. It must be a fast grower. Can’t wait to get it into the full sun.
