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.

Thanks Richard, this is really helpful. Yes that's a good question, I forgot to clarify that in the OP. Definitely the pseudostem height. As long as the plant is under 10 ft., it should be good. A 25 gallon pot is totally doable--I think my limit is 30 gallons practically to move in and out. What do you think is the best method to overwinter containerized bananas?
