I had room for six varieties, and Manzano did not score high enough to make it.

In the following photo, you see the the Manzano leaves in the bottom right of the picture. From where the picture was taken, I am standing on a terrace. You see at my feet (bottom center) some white chairs -- they are on a terrace 4 feet below me. The Manzanos are in 25 gallon pots at the ground level 4 feet below that.



And here is a view of the plat from the opposite end, at ground level. The six banana plants in the plat are 5.5 feet (1.67 meters) apart. The 'naners you see in 2 gallon pots on the right are nursery stock of 1000 Fingers. Farther up on the left are nursery stock of Dwarf Namwa and a few others. On the immediate left you see the white side of the house for a few feet, followed by the 30% shade cloth wall of my plant shelter.
