Default Re: Question about height

Supposedly height is to top of pseudostem, or the highest point of the arch in the banana flower stalk and do NOT include leaves.

Heights listed as (910) at webebananas.com are actual heights measured in that fashion in my yard. Others listed there are from other sources and may or may not have been done in that manner. Some clearly must include leaves in their height.

Knowing the pseudostem height is very important for determining how close you plant is to flowering.
