Fruiting Bananas in containers?

I know this has been asked before, but many were trying to grow them in smallish containers. I'm on the Texas Gulf Coast, and I have two banana trees coming in the mail any day now. What I'd like to know is if these will thrive and fruit if I plant them in a 300 gallon container (like a 4" oak tree would come in) at a rate of one tree per pot. If so, what type of soil shall I fill the containers with? If not, how can I keep the bananas from taking over in a regular bed? Also, should I expect to see edible bananas this year from these trees (pups)? Many thanks

Cheers

M
