Pitangadiego grows his Manzano in a very similar climate to mine and says he has the same experience. Bencelest grows Manzano in California and says they get to 12-14'. Interstingly I found an old post of yours where you say, "i prefer the manzano.The d. brazilian will will fruit anywhere from 8 to 10 ft while the manzano will hit about 12." I think you need to make up your mind.

Brazilian or Manzano?

Bill
getsue, if you took my comments as argumentative, I apologize because thats not who I am. I was trying to help with the asking of pics and description as compared to what ive grown for a very long time.

Please don't judge in saying the I know it all because I don't.

Please don't question why I am on this forum like you just did.

I always listen and Im always learning.

Anyways, thats the fun part of this hobby...if you don't like something about what you have then just start fresh.

I made it clear in finishing the sentence that if someone doesnt like the growth habits of a certain variety due to their personal reason to get rid of them. I know because ive done it more thanI can count.So,I basically told you that I shared your same feeling.

Yes, cooler climates will induce bananas to grow taller and so will shade but when you say that your banana plants snap then is a big question and I was only trying to help you figure out what it might be. (mysore? (big bunches though)

When I said 9ft It was a quick shoot confused with another. I later posted a picture with a Manzano next to a 10 ft PVC to remind myself ..did you see it? So yes, I can attest to having 12ft plants and taller and also shorter flowerings at 9-10ft.

One more thing...when I put Lol it means to be funny not made fun off.I was trying to add some humor to the story while we live through these tough times of 2020.I think I have been a contributing member to this forum and I have always tried to help in whichever way I can.

Again,if I offended you or anyone in any way I apologize.
