Also, how do you usually prop a tall banana plant?

Hopefully you understand that the height of a fruiting banana plant is temporary. They start small, grow to maximum height (about 18 mo. in San Diego) then fruit and after fruit is on the plant for about 4 months the stalk starts dying and the cycle starts over again. Fruiting bananas are a tropical annual that grow from a bulb-like structure under ground.
