Kele, you say that the picture on your homepage is "Santa Catarina". It looks really tall in the picture. How tall is it? I grow Hawaiian Apples AKA Tall Brazilian in my yard that were brought over to California from Hawaii and they are very tall! It's my understanding that "Santa Catarina" are the same as Dwarf Brazilian and are not very tall.
Here is something that one of our banana experts wrote a while back.

Both are AAB but from different subgroups and are very different plants.
