How tall?
 
How tall does Thousand Fingers get? I looked through wiki and it is missing information.

I think all depends. I've seen some posted where the flower is out @ what looks like 10ft or less. The text book version is a whole lot taller than that.. :^)

Cool, I might have to get one. I know it will probably most likely always be shorter here, but it's worth a shot. I'll do some more searching of the old post. Maybe I can find some pics.:bananas_b

I'd say of all the lil nanners I got recently, the 1000 fingers are doing the best. :^)

Mine flowering in Hawaii for the first time (first time flowering for banana plants is usually always the shortest) is about 8ft.

My new 1000 fingers grew to about 10ft of trunk and fruited in 10 months last year. Just had to cut down the replacement trunk as the excessively wet spring had caused the trunk to rot, so I won't know how tall the next replacement will be until later in the year - but the composted stem looked like being about the same size.
