Anyone have any luck with these seeds/plants so far. I have an Ensete Thia Superbum from Gabe that is now doing well , is this a different Ensete to Kluay Pa ? If anyone has a spare seedling of Kluay Pa Ensete please keep me in mind. Gabe the Ensete glaucum bit the big one , these are very hard to grow , I had a good one in France . Perhaps I'll try Ensete glaucum again soon.
Thanks

No luck here either. I believe Kyle has got a couple to sprout, but don't know if they are still living or not. He said they took over a year to germinate. It is similar to the Thai Ensete superbum, but a different species.

What problems are you having with E. glaucum? I have found them to be rather easy to grow here in Knoxville.

Too be honest I've not really had a problem with Ensete Glaucum , but I've only grown it one season in France , so my experience is limited. The UKOasis members who have tryied it seem to have problems with finding the right conditions to grow it.I guess you have the right conditions in Knoxville :-)
I'll try and get another one , so if anyone has a spare ?
Like I say " You can never have too many Ensete" .
