For the tall I would say Praying Hands. Very cold hardy and taste is amazing. If you like vanilla ice cream you will love the taste! They get 13-15’ here.
2nd choice for the 10’ I would say a Mysore type like a Pisang Ceylon. It’s the improved one Richard suggested! They grow great! Basically it has better disease resistance than standard Mysore. It’s still not immune!
2nd choice for the tall. There is tall namwa. I like the taste! Others don’t. Cold hardy also! They make insanely huge bunches and are crazy productive! Very sweet!
More options: (hard to find/rare) etc.
-For the dwarf Musa Patupi (aka Kokomo) it is from PNG! A “short cycle” plant. Only gets 8’ or so and produces my #1 favorite tasting banana!!
-Musa iholena Tigua. They are fast producers! Taste amazing and get 13’ or so.
-Maybe for the tall a real blue java. They taste great and are very cold hardy.
I can think of lots more! Don’t ask me to choose! I can’t!!! Could be why I grow 100+ varieties lmao.

Lots of great info thanks! So what I am leaning towards right now are a Pisang Ceylon, SH3640, FHIA-01, or Musa Patupi/Kokomo. I had never heard of the last one but your review of it seems excellent. Also the “short cycle” seems intriguing. Anyone that has any of these as pups that I could drive to please let me know. I would offer pups from my current supply as trade but what I have is all still young so I could offer cash instead and first shot at pups down the road at some point when I have some. I only need(and can only fit!) two more so since I can’t really pick from the above choices if anyone has two of the above 4 that would solve my probkem. Thanks!
