Or for that matter a difference in hardiness between the dwarf and tall orinoco's? My tall orinoco did really well on the warmer coast, but I gave my dwarf to someone with a greenhouse, so not much to compare.
The "Brazilian" currently being sold by Going Bananas (2019) in South Florida is definitely a Dwarf Brazilian. A friend of mine bought one from them and it flowers at about 7 ft with persistent male flowers. His plant fruited well in Central Florida.
