Hershell, The Grand Nain bananas that I have grown in my greenhouse (see my Avatar), grew about 7 feet tall and 5 ft wide, and commonly began fruiting after the 15th+- leaf. They are the most widely grown commercial banana in the world today. It is the "Chiquita" banana sold in most supermarkets. Commercially in South America a Grand Nain produces bunches up to 150-lbs. Mine, grown in my Colorado greenhouse did not produce a bunch that heavy. Bananas grow best in slightly acid soils with a pH around 6.5. Acidified fertilizers can be used a couple times a year if your soil has a higher pH. Bananas are heavy feeders and drinkers. Best results are obtained with a hand full of slow release fertilizer thrown in with the planting. Then liquid high potassium fertilizers applied throughout the growing season (6-2-12 or 9-3-27). All growth stops at temperatures <55F. Good luck - Millet (834-)
