If it gets much bigger, I'd re-identify that tree! Actually, they can get to 8' before fruiting, IIRC. It really depends on the conditions. Containerized trees will be shorter, and if it's shaded for part of the day it'll likely grow taller. Nevertheless - don't cut that pseudostem this winter! Tuck it in good for the winter and you may very well unwrap it in the spring to find a flower sticking out! Do you wrap your trees while in the ground or do you dig them corm and all up for storage over the winter?

Be well,

Mike,

Last year I kept it growing in my polytunnel greenhouse...I'm getting a bigger one this year and I will probably keep it going as well (as long as it doesn't get much bigger that that.. If it does, I don't know what I'll do.. I don't want to let it die so maybe I'll dig it up and store it.
