Pisang = Banana.

Pisang Ceylon's typical height is 15', but reportedly 9' to 12' in some subtropical areas.

Pisang Klutek's typical height is 9.5'.

Height is usually measured from base to top of pseudostem, not the top of leafs. A shorter variety does not mean that it bears more fruit, although many short varieties do bear a lot of fruit.
