Well, by "poor," I meant that it could have been twice that size if I had left it in the ground last winter. The flower came from a second season pseudostem from a one gallon plant in 2005. Also, the only reason I had my Musa basjoo under the house last year was because I moved to Knoxville from Nashville (in December), and took my bananas with me. I leave all of my species banana outside normally. It's the fruiting cultivars that go under the house normally. Species bananas, with exceptions I'm sure (Musa itinerans is one), don't seem to store too well under the house.
