What type of Banana is this?

I bought this banana 3 years ago and the tag in the pot said it was a Musa Basjoo. This is the 3rd year in the ground and the plant has grown more this year than any other year however it is still very short.

I started fertilizing monthly this year then increased to every two weeks with osmocote and ammonium sulfate. The plant gets afternoon and evening sun but seems to receive reflective heat off the house causing every leaf to burn.

Does anyone know why my banana is so short? I admit that my soil does not appear to be very fertile but I have been fertilizing and watering regularly.
