Banana trees

I like the look but cant you grow them and have them contained to a small area? Don't say google because I tried that and all I come up with is growing them.

They grow like crazy here and I like the look but from what I've learned they can take over quickly.

There are varieties of Banana that do not pup so aggressively. Also you can do the same as for bamboo. You have to contain the planing space, very deeply, with sheet metal or special plastic.

Miniature varieties are available.

I have several miniature banana trees on my balcony, they grown to about 5' tall, with the bananas about the size of Vienna sausages. They are a bit more sweet than regular bananas.

R3 That wouldn't satisfy the average DLer.
