Gabe reported that he had a Gros Michel 'Highgate' fruiting at 7 ft, and a 'Cocos' at fruiting at 6-8 ft.

'Highgate' and 'Cocos'

They are both dwarf varieties of Gros Michel, with the 'Highgate' making slightly smaller fruit than 'Cocos'. The regular Gros Michel has a p-stem of about 15 ft when it fruits.
