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!

Mushybanna:

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.
