It's still only as tall as when I got it due to the frost.
i have had manzno's for 6 years that do not grow well either. shame, i love to eat them.

what many people fail to realize, or it seems like they do, is everybody has different soils. mine is golden sand, which holds no moisture. some bananas grow ok in it, but many do not. many other things like slight differences in weather, one extra frost can do it.
