you are right nanner! That is my experience. Bananas I leave out grow better, faster and bigger than ones I dig up and overwinter inside. No doubt about that. Assuming they make it of course! I think it is due to the early start (April), sun and and root system already being established. That is one heavy banana! Don't hurt yourself. I know what you mean about getting hooked, my current one is speice cannas from seed. And I have no space for them!
