Default Forcing dwarfing regrowth by smart trimming?

A friend of mine, told me that a boy from Sry Lanka described him a trick to force a normal banana to have a dwarfing behaviour.
He made what he call "Smart trimming" of the banana in the Spring, by cutting the pseudost. at about one meter level.

Such operation should force to obtain a regrown of babana at half highness of the normal (2 mt at the place of 4 mt...), but more vigorous and with better fruit shape!

Who else knows and/or tried this trick?
And eventually what was his results?
