Btw, I agree with growing on high water tables. But how do the bananas do it? I mean, if the soil stays wet than the roots rot. Yet, I know of a couple places where the nanas are only inches from the water and still fruiting?

Yes, I know a couple locations where these guys grow wild and thick around my neighborhood. When I was in Georgia and saw what they were being sold for, I was astonished. They're everywhere here!
