I've had a lot of bananas fruiting lately, here are two of them.

'Highgate', a dwarf Gros Michel, fruting at just about 11 months after planting. It is shorter than 'Cocos', but the fruit is also smaller. Pseudostem height on this is about 7ft.

This is 'Cocos', a different cultivar of dwarf Gros Michel, the fruit is larger than 'Highgate' and the plants a little taller for the first round of fruiting, but if you really juice them they will get taller with age. Currently they are fruiting at about 7-8ft right now.
