Pit-in-the-pit is another 2' down, yielding 9.5' of vertical headroom.

By getting them to lean as they grow, I think I can handle up to about 12' of pstem from the bananas in the pit-in-the-pit. Hopefully the Gros Michel has been sufficiently stunted (after having been dug up and moved 5 times now) to flower at 12' or less
