Ya there is always lots of diversity and influence of environmental factors. The heights I referenced where based on the measured heights of various accessions grown out in Australia after collecting. I suppose there are some taller forms out there.

Re: Musa Schizocarpa

Again thanks for all the info. I ordered the seeds and just enjoy growing my new plant no matter how tall it is.
