Orinoco seems to have received a number of recommendations. Any thoughts/comments on Orinoco vs. Dwarf Orinoco? My wife expressed concern with a plant that might get taller than our one-story home. (Although she did agree that I can plant one in the ground and have a second in a container that I could move into the house or workshop for the winter. )

I think we're going to be down around Biloxi for Memorial Day weekend, but I'll have a rented minivan full of in-laws. I'm not sure how they'd feel about being crowded in with a banana plant or two.
