Varieties

Hawaiʻi Banana Source is home to over 150 unique types of bananas, with new ones sprouting every day.

At Hawaiʻi Banana Source, we grow over 150 varieties of common and rare bananas... and even create new varieties of our own. Our most popular include Apple, Namwah, Gros Michel, and Ice Cream.

Many are Native Hawaiian canoe crops - like Iholena, Pōpōʻulu, and Maoli - while others come from regions around the globe.
