crazy banana

While I was evaluating all my banana plants in early spring this year for a possible inflorescence, I did not have certain plants on my radar because of their short height and relatively young age. These plants were chopped down for easier shipping last summer. What was left was a nice big corm and about 2' of p-stem. My guess is, that the p-stem height before shipping was probably 4' to 5'.
I wonder what everyone else's experience is. So if the average fruiting height of a plant is around 10', but a 5' pup was chopped for shipping or storage to 2', would it still fruit at 10' or more likely around 7'? Basically my question is how does it impact the fruiting height if the p-stem gets reduced in height for whatever reason (assuming of course a possible inflorescence was not already developing in the chopped p-stem).

There are pics of forum members that have halved their plants to overwinter them in their homes for the winter ; and they have bloomed and fruited.
Have you seen those yet? Those are cool>>

No, I have not seen any photos of plants like that. So what you are saying is that they will bloom and fruit but just at a shorter height?
I was just wondering if the fruiting plant in question is what I actually ordered because of its short fruiting height. Future pups will show the real fruiting height and the male inflorescence will help to confirm the ID as well.
