Re: Container size?
I can see fruiting many of the dwarf size or smaller in a 20 gal pot. Any of the larger plants, and the pot would be all corm and no roots. I have a 30 gallon that's about the right size for an 8-10 foot tall plant with room for a couple pups to develop. The trick is managing the water. Maybe an ebb and flow setup to water 'under' the corm.
All my container bananas are small (under 3 feet tall), and merely being incubated/sustained, and are going in the ground after the weather warms. If I only had containers to grow in, I would use some plastic 55 gallon barels cut down to about 40-45 gallons and mount wheels to them. Any of the 12-15 footers should be able to fruit in them. I'm still not sure about Saba though...It looks massive...
