Interesting. Maybe one solution to having a 12' greenhouse and a 17" banana plant is to dig a 5' pond in the greenhouse floor.

It looks like you tend to leave some of the banana's soil above the water, right? I have a banana plant growing on the berm of a former taro field that gets a few inches of water occasionally, so I can confirm that they don't mind wet feet too much. Have you tested putting the corm fully under water?

Not always. That banana is bigger so pot bigger pond not deep. Other bananas under water. Maybe 3 or 4 inches over pot. None of my ponds more then 23 inches deep. Lots are 12 inches some 10 inches.
