Hi,

I am trying to grow Ensete outdoors this year for the first time. I know it's an awful year to pick - the coldest for over 10 years, blah, blah, blah, but I had no choice because one of my plants was simply too big to bring in.

I have lost the leaves, but the pseudostem in still hard, despite one frost of -9 C and another at -5 C

Has anyone else done this in the UK winter climate? or tried to do it? Please let me know details of attempts, Ta.
