If anyone has had success with growing bananas in pots to full maturity, I'd love to hear as much as you can tell me regarding size of container, how many plants per container, type of soil, drainage issues, etc.

Obviously, my concern is that my plants will grow fine, but that they may not flower or provide fruit. All help is really appreciated!!
45+ gal and up.

1 plant per container.

Dwarf varieties do well in the same large containers.
There are a number of forum/nursery members in your area which can better give best advice.

Youtube has some good videos that will enhance your decision too..
