Thank you Kostas, you are providing the kind of help and support I need as a neophyte in banana culture. The plants I have seen in that park, and that is the only place, where I have seen them, all topped out in the flower spike at 4 feet or under (see my pictures at the bottom of the thread). That made the plant IMOEO so desirable for us northerners: When it gets cold, you just bring them in. They are small enough to fit into any home. And if they behave like other bananas, the mother will die after fruiting. So they are unlikely to get any bigger.

Best,
Olaf
