I'm not really sure why they would call M. basjoo a dwarf. 60" is quite small but I think basjoo gets much larger than that. However, I did see a plant at the San Antonio Botanical Garden that I'm quite sure was basjoo and it was in flower and not much over 4-5' tall. See my photo gallery for a pic of it. Still, I think a lot of things can account for bananas flowering a different sizes and in my book basjoo is not a dwarf.
