Re: Ensete glaucum
I have tried them on the coast here in Northern California, and they grow very slow.
This year I tried some again in the hot dry interior, and it was still slow. I think part of the problem inland in the hot dry mountains was the cool nights, and lack of humidty.
E.klauy pa seems pretty quick here.
I keep dreaming of hybridizing E.glaucum with E. ventricosum, to create a huge banana for the low land tropics(S.Florida), or maybe a more drought tolerant form of E.ventricosum for the west(E.glaucum is said to be more drought tolerant like the African species)
