Default Re: Banana in Boston Commons

The species is Ensete ventricosum, the variety name is 'Maurelii'. They are a banana, in the banana family, just in a different genus. This red form can really only be grown from tissue cultured plants as seeds seem to not stay true to type. There a few different color forms of this species commonly available and the seeds are fairy easy to germinate.
