Default Re: Ensete ventricosum var. 'Maurelii'

I have had good luck storing the psuedostem , bareroot on a concrete floor in a cool dark basement (and it never gets any water) . I bought this one 2.5 years ago about 3' tall . The first summer it got to 6 or 7' . I dug it up took it to the basement and leaned it up against the wall , took it back out around the beginning of May and it started putting out leaves almost immediately . Last year it ended the growing season around 10' or so . Hopefully I can get some more growth out of it this year but , it may be too heavy to move come fall .
