'Highgate' has a very noticeable dwarfed stature, it's a relatively thick and stout plant.
'Cocos' is more slender and less dwarf looking, and can look very similar to the tall 'Gros Michel' for a time when young, but it will eventually start to look more proportional and top out in height when shorter as opposed to the tall which get very tall, and will not look dwarf at all and not really top out until near 15-20ft.
I would assume you have a standard tall 'Gros Michel' as they are the most common and quite abundant. Where did you get it from?
