Musa acuminata

Fantastic banana because of its size. This dwarf banana only grows to 6' (1.8m). The plant has broad leaves and produces tasty 5" (25cm) sweet yellow fruit. Excellent for greenhouses and for containers. An old popular variety that originated in the Canary Islands....

i have planted 5 seeds this year about 1 month ago, and they are yet to germinate.

Musa basjoo - Japanese Hardy Banana

surprisingly easy to grow and can be planted either in a pot or in the ground all year round....root hardy banana plant which thrives in a wide variety of conditions. Very easy and fast growing, producing a new 6ft leaf every 5-7 days once established!!
Can reach a height of 15ft in the UK, less if contained in a pot.
fruit grow in the 3rd year (not sure if these are edible though, i haven't checked, mine is just over a year old) and is planted in the garden, i protected from heavy frost and snow, but otherwise its doing fine
