The giant plantain will probably have 5 hands of 10" long 50mm wide fruit. The bunch will probably weight 25-30 lbs. Probably only has 35-45 fingers.

This is how they were advertised...
Giant Plantain produces 150 lb. bunches of long fruit on 12ft. trees.
Super plantain is named so for its ability to produce fruit in 11 months!!!
Super Plantain produces large bunches of fruit on compact 8ft. trees.
I wanted to grow them out of curiosity.
