Default Re: Best 5-8 footers, including mislabels (other than d nam)

Keep in mind that when referring to fruiting heights they are (or should be) in reference to the height of the pseudostem, the actual total height of the plant will be larger with the leaves. A plant listed as 5ft could still reach 8-9ft in the air with its leaves, and an 8ft plant could easily reach over 12ft with leaves.
