I don't know what the tall one is that I have. There were 3 of them in a block of Giant Plantains. From the literature I know that false horns can revert back to French types. They made nice bunches. For my purposes though, I need dwarf plants. The wind takes down the tall ones. The tall ones make nice bunches but if it is laying on the ground it is pretty useless.
