I was looking at the banana forum on GW, and saw this:

"Regarding the size of the pup, all they said was that they harvested 'field-grown suckers' late in the Fall, overwintered them in a greenhouse, then planted them out in late April/early May. The pups had an average height of 2.5 feet when set out. They were starting to harvest bananas in October of that growing season"

This was about a cultivar called Veinte Cohol. Has anyone ever heard of/ had experience with this?

There's quite a bit about it on Google.
