If carrying big pots is out of the question, and you still want fruit, then you basically have two options: a) grow outdoors during the summer and overwinter dormant in a basement, etc. or b) grow indoors year-round.

There really is no way around that....like others have said, even super dwarf cavendish, one of the smallest banana plants that produces legitimate fruit is 3-4' tall and needs about a 25 gallon pot to fruit.

Beyond that, you can always just enjoy bananas for their beautiful foliage! There are plenty of great plants to choose from.
