It never seems to grow a trunk of any sort so the old stems die back to the roots.

The leaves are long quite thin as far as som bananas and a thick leathery feel.

I grow this indoors at the moment and it seems to grow quite fast. Leaf every 4-5 days is not uncommon. I need to know what it is and whether its worth trying to grow or if I should look for another banana plant.

Thanks

where are you? Has it been in same pot for 2 years? or what do roots look like when you move between in/outdoors? what are you feeding it-how often?
Where did you get it?
