Nate, your Maurelli looks great. Max is right that we can just stick them in them in the ground here and forget about them, and they get huge! You growers in colder regions have to go through so much to protect them and grow them well. My hat is off to you. It takes a lot of work to protect them in the winter. My friend Don in Kansas has a huge one, and I believe he stores his bananas in his basement every winter along with many other tropicals. He has a tropical paradise every summer there in Kansas. I think he's here on this forum once in a while, and he posts a lot over at Dave's Garden. I'll see if I can find the thread where he posted his Maurelli recently.
