Default Re: Anyone growing Ensete outside in the UK?

Mine is Ensete Ventricosum Maurelli

Does anyone know if that is more of less cold hardy than Ensete glaucum.

I am wondering whether to cover it with garden fleece????? - more to keep the wet out of the leaf bases than for cold protection, as I notice they all have pools of water in them.
