Looks like you have excavated a large hole and planted the bush on mounded portion of the hole. You are right on! All my research has shown that the proper procedure for planting most everything including bananas is to dig the hole 3 times the diameter of the root ball and half again as deep. Mounding helps to effect better drainage . I suspect it could help increase the soil temp in zones that need it. Best of luck.

There's no mounding -- except when I plant my avocados because they are shallow rooted. But otherwise you are correct. I've documented my planting procedure for bananas here:
