Have you thought of putting drainage holes in a livestock stock tank? "Tractor Supply Company" offers the foam type which are not too heavy, but they will get heavy once you fill them up with dirt and a nice banana plant. I have seen people doing this here once, but I don't know how successful they were with fruiting their plant.
I think I'm going to scrap the container planting idea and do the old fashion way that we were given since the beginning of time and just stick them in ground. I would hate to wait so long and then struggle with fruiting.
