They might not be as tall as it appears -- that fence isn't very tall. So far, each pseudostem to produce a bunch has been taller than the last: 6', 7.5', 8.0', and 8.5'. The next one will be at least 9.0' because it is already that tall, but no flag leaf yet.
The last two to fruit (8 and 8.5' tall) were very stout: nearly a meter (97 cm) circumference at the base (ground level) and right around 70 cm at 1 m high.
The two other Pisang Awak cultivars I have that have bloomed are taller. Each has only bloomed once so far, "Misi Luki" at 11' and "Ice Cream" at 12'. Despite being more slender than Dwarf Namwah and "Ice Cream", "Misi Luki" doesn't need to be propped, whereas the other two do.
