Tropical Gardens In Cooler Climates

I could not tell you. There are so many tropical bananas, unless you know what species it is it can be hard to tell. I only have the cold hardy ones here. Being in Florida it is prob a tropical species of banana.

I don't do much to mine and they get up to 20 to 25ft tall here. Sometimes up to 30ft on good rainy summers.

Dang mine don't get that big. I guess I need to baby mine more for sure. Hopefully this winter won't knock them back. Mine were just starting to get big when the winter ruined several years worth of height.

it takes 4 years before a clump of bananas will reach its full height.
