Brought my Ensete 'Murelli" out of the garage last week and it is really starting to redden up!!! The garage was unheated and saw at least 28F and this baby did great!!!! What 'cha think!?!?! (Ball cap is at the base for scale)

Certainly looks like it's off to a good start.

Looks good, Randy. You might even get it to bloom this year!

I can only hope!!! I was surprised it did so well, considering how cold it got in the garage. Just waiting on some heat now!!!

I've seen a couple of the maurelli's in bloom here in the Houston area and they are quite impressive.

I will keep you posted to its progress and hopefully it will bloom for me...

I wonder if it would be possible to force the Ensete corm to multiply by chopping it down when it flowers? Or would it be too late to use that method of propagation by that time?

Whatever
