Just HOW big are your windowsills?

Does it grow that big then?

http://www.banana-tree.com/ said 3 feet - a bit big for the sill, perhaps,
but we have french windows, and several places with low sills where a plant
could stand on the floor in a big pot and still look out of the window.

I assumed as it was being sold as a pot plant that it wasn't likely to
reach triffid proportions (thinking on, that was a foolish assumption - all
sorts of vast things come as pot plants!)

3' high is a bit surprising for 5" fruit - think structural engineering!
My guess is that it would be tree tomato size - just about possible to
keep down to pot plant size, but not small. I will see if it is in any
of my books.
