Another very short cycle plant will be Musa Viente Cohol.....I have one that might give me a flower this year, but who knows ......our grow window is very short.
But how would I deal with the height of a GM? I'd have to bring it in the house over winter, so the max would be 6 feet or so. Unless there are GM dwarfs this short? Or is it possible to time it so that the growth would still be under 6 ft. by June, (when it would be able to be taken outside), and able to complete fruiting by late September or so? Once outside, of course it doesn't matter how tall it gets, as long as fruiting is done before it gets too cool. Then I could cut down main stem and bring the container with the new sucker in over winter and repeat. I don't know if the mathematics on this is feasible with a GM though?
