I'm not sure i understood the question. but if what you said was do dwarf variates give Small fruit well smaller then there normal sized parent but most of them give a fairly good sized fruit the lady finger has the smallest also the 1000 finger is fairly Small fruit but yes there all worth growing most of the Cavendish variants dwarf or not have good sized fruit i would personally try to stick to bananas that grow well in your zone

well after reading your zone i think you are going to have to stick to some of the winter hardy variates unless you don't mind halling them in and out of the house of if you have a green house that would be better i use artificial lights on my Bananas in the winter and they grow just fine
