Steve, I know that it is possible to get a banana like that to fruit in a pot, but there's a catch! It needs ideal environmental conditions for one (I'm sure that one was greenhouse-grown its whole life). Another thing is that you would have to water AND fertilize (lightly) almost every day. These greenhouse nurseries fertilize at just about every watering anyway, that's why their plants look so nice and green and healthy all the time! We fruited a Dwarf Cavendish in a pot last year here at UT, but the roots were allowed to grow out of the bottom of the pot and into the greenhouse floor (soil).
