What do you guys think? Would it only be feasible for smaller dwarf varieties? What about bigger banana plants?

Good for little and big plants.....at 18 plus gal per container this a good purchase.
To extend the life of your wood container plant a container that fits inside of the barrel...and remove it at the end of season
Plant filler plants such as perennial oxalis to fill the pot.
The plant is tolerant to low water conditions and takes a lot of garden abuse.
Great takeaways on the web....
