Let's see how big this one can get in the next few months! Growing almost a new leaf every week right now!

Banana in container...
Nice looking, how tall will it get?
It's a Musa 'Dwarf Orinoco' & I'm hoping for 8 feet in the container.
Good luck, I wish I had room for a plant like that
the patio has an 8 foot ceiling so we'll see!
I just had to dig up the Dwarf Orinoco I had in the GH. The leaves were getting ruined where it was growing into the roof. The emerging leaves were well over 8 feet...probably 10 feet if I had been able to stretch them out. Hopefully your container will restrict it somewhat. It seems to be a thin, lanky banana that is slow to pup.

That's the idea, and the perfect banana for a container for that reason.
