Thanks for the info, I don't want super tall plantains either. I want plantains shorter than the semi-dwarf Maricongo.

Your first statements sounds like you had a known false horn Giant Plantain that reverted to a tall French-type.

Now it sounds like it could have just been a seller error, either tc's or suckers from the org.

WOW 6-8 feet. The Red French-type have all flowered under 10 feet and the Maiden should be even shorter. The Dwarfs are a little under to a little over 9 feet.
