Default Re: Minimum planter width for growing Tall banana cultivars?

Thank you very much Tony and Jon for your replies!

Tony,
Are the others ok such as Brazilian Tall,Mysore,etc?

Jon,
My goal is to ground plant all bananas i have and keep them happy and well,although in small mats,till i get a new property and give them the proper space to excel. The planter i am talking about will be in the ground so they will be able to expand their roots under it with good irrigation and i was hoping that beginning with a good,humus rich soil with lots of mulch on top and organic fertilizer,they would do well and grow close to their maximum height as my climate is warm most of the year and rainy for 9months with 1m of precipitation annually. I was hoping that with your expert advise,there would be a way to make this work great and have some nice tall bananas till i get a new property and i can give them the space they deserve.
As for the labor needed in tight space for pup removal,etc,i dont mind as long as i can keep the bananas happy and have them grow close to the maximum height possible for the variety.

Thank you very much in advance!
