Great video! Hopefully, they can get to a fruiting size this year for you! In my climate as our summers are cool they grow much slower so will likely take several years to reach a mature height, assuming they don't die down to the ground. I experimented with leaving a Dwarf Orinoco in the ground during the winter but unfortunately looks like it's been completely taken down to the ground. I'm hoping it can push some new pups up soon, but if it has completely gone I did take a pup off it last year which has overwintered indoors under the grow light. I got quite unlucky this year as we had a particularly cold winter here in the UK, well at least in December anyway.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and plants. Always a pleasure to learn from you.

You might be able to pull off some bananas if you build a greenhouse around a clump…
