If you have the room to do a M. Basjoo stand of banana trees in your yard and are willing to mulch it in the fall, you probably could grow it in the ground and not bother with pots. I saw these Logee Plant videos on how to winterize them and how to prepare them for spring. The guy says they are Zone 5 New England so sounds doable for you if you're tempted.
