I received it as a pup on July 9 2008 from bencelest (thanks!). It is currently 4 feet high with a 5-inch diameter base. It also has 3 pups about 8 inches high that came up in January.

For that very reason, last year I spent 3 months researching edible banana varieties, characteristics, etc. and did quite a bit of cross-checking. Here are the varieties I have height information for, sorted by typical subtropical height. It is from a tab-delimited file, so I'm sorry if it does not format very well here. The entire file is available for a short time at this link:
