This banana later proved to not be M. itinerans, but a new species described as M. yunnanensis. The banana you have will get about 15 feet of pseudostem in Florida, give or take.
My Musa yunnanensis is very cold hardy, and is an attractive alternative to M. basjoo. I'm not sure about the Wiki, I haven't checked it recently.

Would you mind updating the Wiki with whatever info you have Frank? Or post it here and I can do it for you! I personally just want to know about two things. How tall does the Yunnanensis get (you answered) and somewhat a description of it's fruit and flower? But any other info would be great as well! Personally not too worried about it's cold hardiness... I'm in zone 10a afterall!
But might interest others as to how hardy it is if you know that info!
Thanks, Josh!
