Ensette back in the garden

Beautiful plant! :-)

Snap just planted ours, it is the same size, so glad to get it out of the house lol

I lost my big one over the winter i knocked into it and snaped the stem.It didn't recover from that.:o(((

They make great tropical plants for Caribbean islands that pirates visit and hide treasure in .O))))))

Lol - don't I just know it!!! I've had a couple in the past, but I just can't get them through winter, no matter how much I try. There are sometimes bargain ones to be had around here - keeping me one eye out for these! :-))

That's a real shame you lost the large one in this way. :-(((

Goodness, Dd - no wonder you're glad to get this out of the house!

Mine has just come out of the greenhouse too........

lovely mushy ;o)

Mushybanna:

Looking good! It should grow quite large by the end of summer.

I hope so palmate it's just if i can keep it over winter with out breaking this one ....LOL

Mushybanna:

Will you dig it out of the ground in winter?

Oh yes defiantly will have to come in for winter musa's won't survive here in winter without wrapping or bringing in

Mushybanna:

Ensete hybrids tend to be more tender than true bananas (Musa). Ensete lacks a rhizome which makes some true varieties of banana very hardy.
