I recently received a request for leaf samples for DNA analysis so I guess I will know for sure once that is completed. I will update this thread when I know more.
Hi Jeff,
It is Ensete suberbum. You are going to have a lot of seeds. It seeds are smaller and smooth compare to E.perrieri seeds.
Best wishes,
Markku.
