Re: Will the Red Ensette fruit?? pix
All flowering plants make fruit, but not all make an edible fruit. In the realm of bananas, this species does not make an edible fruit. There are some interesting traditional uses of the plant in Africa. But for practical reasons, it is an ornamental plant only.
