| I bought one of those last year. I didn't have a place in the yard selected yet, so I left it in the pot on my porch over the winter. I hope to plant it this year. Do they really get 40' tall? |

| I'd say only in their native habitat. |

| there are some here in KY that are around 17-20 ft but I have never seen one at 40'. watch out for the rhizomes they can run and do some damage if there in the wrong place..some I have seen ( and tripped over) are as big around as a soda can. |

| This is a nice variety of banana--especially for those in colder zones. (Believe I have seen it posted at hardy from Zone 6 and up!). I left my bananas in a cold garage over he winter. The suvivors were... Abyssinian, Basjoo, Chinese yellow, Himalayan, and this one. |
