Cory,

You may already be aware of this, but Musa sikkimensis does not produce what would normally be considered edible fruit-because of the seeds. If you're just wanting it for it's ornamental effects that's fine. If you're wanting a banana that produces edible, seedless fruit, you'll need to get another variety.
