I'd have to say that if there's one cv. out of all, that Rajapuri would be it. I've measured a trunk of 46" around and only at 6 1/2 feet tall to the top of the phytostem when pushing an inflorescence. It's the single most difficult musa I've had to budge as well when I've tried to move part of a mat, as it's the deepest rooter I have.
