When you say "under 6 foot", do you mean the pseudo-stem or the leaves as well?

If you mean the pseudo-stem, my choice would be dwarf Namwah for both taste and production. It will need to be in a 25-gallon pot and in your zone stay indoors from mid-fall to mid-spring. My guess is that it would take 3 years to maturity and fruit.

If you mean the leaves and everything under 6', I'd stick to grocery store bananas.
