Thanks. I don't know about how fast super dwarf cavendish grows, but I know that musa basjoo can grow exponentially in size as long as it is either in a huge pot, or planted in the ground. Obviously it loves heat and water.

Getting them 1ft underground is a bit of work, but I think it's worth it as far as protecting them through that first winter which is crucial because once a banana comes back, it's coming back stronger and stronger as you can tell from the 1 year difference.
