Hammer:
Mine only grows 4 1/2 feet before it sends out the flowers but if you live in San Diego at 7 feet it is still growing. So I guess it depends where you live . Also if you overfertilize and water may affect the height. Mine grows at certain part of the year only.
Also I can not answer your next question because mine took on flower about 2 years and in the middle of the winter to boot!
11 months is I think not true. Only senorita banana can do that. And that's why a lot of folks wants it so they can harvest before the frost but nobody has one. Except one guy in Florida who promised me a pup and I am still waiting.
It's got to be more than that. 18 months is a conservative estimate.
