Paclobutrazol - Growth Regulator for Pseudostem

VERY interesting. Being capable of shortening the psdeudostem whould help immensely to harvest my own bunches. Basically it would make feasible the potted growing, and i'm pretti confident i would be able to overwinter potted plants fine, even with hanging bunches. And would make manageable a lot of cultivar otherwise too tall to be overwintered.
Strangely i don't see paclobutrazol for sale in italy. The little research i have done so far seems to show that the substance isn't forbidden. Who knows?
