I am a real newbie when it comes to banana plants but I have a fairly large garden and grow a lot of things in containers as well and think a 45 gallon pot would be over kill.

have you seen how big a 45 gallon container is? HUGE Filled with dirt you will not be able to move it without a fork lift

I would think a 20 gallon would be sufficient for a decent size plant. Maybe 15 depending on the size of your plant...

Just my 2 cents... haha

Just to get an idea look at a 55 gallon drum and imagine that shorter and bigger round filled with dirt... haha

I have a few 55 gallon drums that I cut in half long ways sitting on the ground to grow veggies in...
