I brought my oldest banana inside for the winter. As you can tell by the pictures, she's hitting the ceiling. This summer I whacked her down substantially, and she grew back to the same height. Should I chop it down again to control the height? I can lower the banana, but I cannot raise my ceiling. This banana is 2-years-old, and I am afraid I'll chop off the flower bud in the pseudostem. If you all feel she's no where near flowering, then I am going to cut her down some.

Additionally, I was under the impression that this is a Dwarf Cavendish banana. The more I think about it, I kind of wonder if it is a Sucrier/Pisang Mas banana. What do you guys think?
