To be more specific, I don't care if they are fruiting kinds or not, I just want to find a source. The lower mainland of B.C. is a good climate for bananas, so they must get them from somewhere. The one I'm really looking for is Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii'. I do plan on growing them all in pots, indoors for the winter, and then planting them outside in summer. My Dwarf Orinoco is doing very well inside this winter. Unfortunately, I won't have room for too many inside - they get big! There is one nursery near where I live that has about 4 different cultivars for sale - that is where I got mine - but 4 is a very small selection of the hundreds that are out there. They have Siam Ruby, Rajapuri and I'm not sure of the others. I don't always trust the big-box stores, or even the garden centres, because they often get the names wrong. Most of the time, these places place orders with companies in Florida or wherever, and they just send a bulk shipment of 'tropicals'. Not much help if someone wants a correctly named plant.
