Our plant crops flower with a pseudostem at around 8 feet and the ratoon crops at about 12 feet. For commercial sales we only use the plant crops because they produce larger fruit and are easier to manage. For personal use the larger bunches of smaller fruit are fine.
If you measure to the top of the leaf, then our Red bananas would measure at well over 40 feet.
