Purchased this "little" guy at a local Home Depot. Hoping to know a little more about it. It's currently in a 10" growers pot. I bought a 14" pot to transplant it in to.
More photos in my gallery.

I believe its an Ensete Maurelii, a banana relative. Not cold hardy in most places but can be overwintered in a cool garage, or in a crawlspace when it gets too large to be indoors. I have two under my house right now dormant this way.
