I have Musa Basjoo. I think I received dwarf versions, but they are still getting up to about 8 to 9 feet if I wrap them during the winter because they start from a higher spot. I believe the person I mention also has the same, that is why it was frustrating seeing her do nothing and they get so big. In regards to position, they get 10am sun and onward.
I did forget to mention that I have another grouping further in the yard. I did not wrap all of them this year and I gained a much larger bunch of stalks and pretty tall plants. I did mulch these quite a bit.
I think my photos should work. One is a little noisy with some grass, the other though is when I posted on here before when a flower popped through.
Thanks so much for the help.

Basjoos.....let die to the ground and mulch at 8 inches deep.
Early Spring fertilize with a regular garden fertilizer like 16-16-16 ...19-19-19
Feed your mats the same triple 15-19 through growing season and water well.
Your plant will SHINE
Some pros hit the plant with 46-0-0 in early march for Basjoos and Mekongs.
There is a lot to learn on how to get these awesome plants to their potential
