I agree, pot them up! When I got my ice cream banana in spring 2010 it was 1 foot tall and I potted it in a 3 gallon pot. It did really poorly at first (couldnt support itself and even made a pup because it probably thought it was going to die). It made it through though and I dont think it would have survived if it was planted in the ground. It grew well that summer and the following summer it was tall enough to go in the ground. Now, 2 years after I first got it, its 6 feet tall and definitely strong enough to go in the ground!
