Default Re: Anyone growing Ensete outside in the UK?

out of all the Bananas this is the species i have spent the most time studding i wont say I'm an expert but i know a grate deal about EV they are a semi dry loving plant growing at altitudes of 2000ft or higher they have large root systems 3 meters or more and grow to 30ft in height moving them after they get bigger is bad. if you intend to keep it in place i suggest you build a green house of sorts around it every winter in that way it has a chances of becoming something of a spectacular specimen if grown well it can survive up to 10 years
