Here is a list of edible bananas in order of subtropical height. Many cultivars are missing since I don't have height data for them. I'm sure everyone has different experiences, so I'll let you all discuss it!

Re: Definitive Dwarf List
 

Can we stick this thread?

Maybe even round up the other helpful list and make a list thread?

Anyone have a time to flower list?

Dave

Re: Definitive Dwarf List
 

I agree that this would be a good sticky if possible.

Re: Definitive Dwarf List
 

Is the list total height or P-stem height? :^)

Re: Definitive Dwarf List
 

Great thread!

Re: Definitive Dwarf List
 

P-stem

Re: Definitive Dwarf List
 

Thanks Richard. Do you have the heights for Gros Michel Lowgate and Highgate? I think Lowgate is the shortest of the Gros Michel Dwarfs.

Re: Definitive Dwarf List
 

Subtropical height? I assume zones north of subtropical will fruit at a shorter height.

Re: Definitive Dwarf List
 

I know this is a dwarf list thread but alot of talls are on the list and according to Going Banana's White Iholena is shorter in height than a Red Iholena instead of vise versa.. I couldn't tell you since both of mine are the same height roughly (over 7' of p-stem).. both Red & White Iholena..
