I started Musa cavendish ‘Super Dwarf’ in a 12"pot last year - it only grew to about 18" & no fruit. I overwintered it indoors with southern exposure. Any tips?

I have a new Musa ‘Rajapuri’ & want to know if planting in a raised bed (I have clay soil - nutrient rich and not prone to being waterlogged) OR planting in an 18" pot would be more likely to allow it to yield fruit ---with southern & western exsposure.
